President Buhari departs Daura for Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Monday, departed Daura in Katsina State for Abuja after participating in Saturday’s APC ward congress.


The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the President voted at his Sarkin Yara `A’ ward, Daura.

NAN reports that the president’s helicopter, marked NAF-540, took off from the Daura helipad at 9:25 am for Abuja.

The president was seen off at the departure point by the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Farouk, top party officials and several well-wishers.

Unconfirmed sources, however, told NAN that president Buhari was expected to make a stop-over in Katsina to commiserate with the family of the late Chief Imam of Katsina, Malam Muhammad Lawal, who died on Sunday at the age of 95.
