Vice President Kashim Shettima on Friday night took a swipe at Nigerians who took to the media to mock President Bola Tinubu over his misstep during the democracy day celebration on June 12.
President Tinubu tripped and fell as he attempted to climb onto the Military land rover stationed to convey him to inspect a guard of honour mounted by officers and soldiers of the Guards brigade led by their Commander.
