A former Nigerian federal lawmaker, Shehu Sani has shared his thoughts on reasons that might have led to the President of South Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit wetting himself during a public function.
Africa Today New York reports that Mayardit was earlier in the week sighted in a viral video peeing himself while opening a road project on Tuesday.
The 71-year-old Mayardit peed himself during the recitation of the national anthem and the event was broadcast live on television, meaning that nothing could be done to rectify the embarrassing situation.
According to reports, he was to be suffering from a urinary tract infection, which is common in older men.
