2023: Concerns Over A Presidential Candidate As South Sudan President, Salva Urinates On Himself

Some Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions as 71-year-old South Sudan President, Salva Kiir Mayardit, urinated on himself during a live broadcast.

Naija News reports that Salva has been the President of South Sudan since its independence on July 9, 2011.

According to a foreign publication, the president was commissioning a road on Tuesday, December 13, 2022, when he unknowingly urinated on himself while they were singing the national anthem.

The embarrassing moment could not be averted especially as it was a live TV broadcast event.

Such incidents are likely to happen when someone is believed to be suffering from a urinary tract infection which is quite common with aged people.

The video sparked outrage among many Nigerians as they express concern for an unnamed presidential candidate.

Others also frowned at how aged people have dominated the African political space.
