President Muhammadu Buhari, on Wednesday, arrived at his country home in Daura, Katsina State, preferring to walk through the streets from the helipad, as an overwhelming crowd surged to welcome him.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this in a statement, on Wednesday night.
“The President, who was received at the helipad by the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Faruk Umar Faruk, abandoned the motorcade, as a large number of people had already gathered around the helipad, snaking all the way to his house.
“An elated crowd cheered as the President walked home, screaming “baba ya da wo, baba oyoyo”, meaning “baba is back, welcome home”, Shehu said.
He said Buhari was earlier received at the Airport in Katsina, by the Governor of Katsina State, Alhaji Aminu Bello Masari, and the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabir Usman, before he was airlifted with a chopper to Daura.
Shehu said the President would be spending time with his family during the Eid-el-Kabir.
Recall, that the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, earlier reported that the Air Force helicopter conveying the President and members of his family, landed at the Airstrip at 4:45 p.m.
Buhari, looking much healthier and radiant, smiled as he waved to the mammoth crowd.
Inside the town itself, Buhari’s arrival excited many people, who broke out in prayers for his good health.
Malam Aminu Shehu, a trader who could not control his emotions, described the arrival of the President as a relief to Nigerians, especially his kinsmen who spent a year without seeing him.
He praised God that the President was looking happy and not fatigued.
“We will continue to pray for the well-being of the President’’.
