Buhari in Daura for 4-Day Official Visit

President Muhammadu Buhari arrived Daura, his hometown, Friday evening, at the start of a four-day official visit.

A release by Mallam Garba Shehu, his Senior Special Assistant on Mmedia and Publicity, said the president was welcomed at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport, Katsina, by the state Governor, Hon. Aminu Bello Masari, the Deputy Governor, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly and the Chief Judge.

In Daura, the Emir, Alhaji Faruk Umar Faruk, led District Heads and traditional title holders to receive the President at the Helipad.

In the course of his stay in Daura, Buhari will, among other engagements, participate in the All Progressives Party, APC membership registration and revalidation exercise.

“The President considers this exercise as a very important one for the nation’s democracy and its yearning for good leadership as a requirement of the process of nation building,” Garba Shehu disclosed in his release.

In a broadcast last week, President Buhari urged “all good people,” not only to speak but to rise up and “get involved in the task of improving their society,” adding that “for most citizens, their greatest weapon is their vote. Register now for your Party and register when the time comes for elections.”

He is expected to return to Abuja on Tuesday.
