Vice President Kashim Shettima has hit out at those who mocked President Bola Tinubu over his slip during the Democracy Day celebrations on June 12.
Tinubu missed his step as he climbed onto the back of a military parade vehicle at Eagle Square.
The president tripped and almost fell on the Land Rover.
The incident sparked a frenzy on social media, with many Nigerians making a caricature of Tinubu.
Speaking at a PEBEC Town Hall meeting at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Shettima expressed dismay over the negative portrayal of Tinubu.
He said: “When the president stumbled in the June 12 celebration. It is not only disheartening and disenchanting, but stultifying and heartbreaking that some of our countrymen were celebrating.
