An aircraft carrying President Muhammadu Buhari has touched-down in his home town, Daura, Katsina State, for private visit, scheduled to last for a week.
The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the president, Mallam Garba Shehu disclosed this in an issued statement.
The aircraft which carried the President from Abuja landed at 4:45 pm on Friday at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport in Katsina, where he was received by the Governor, Aminu Bello Masari, his deputy, Mannir Yakubu, senior government officials, and the heads of security agencies in the state.
The Emir of Daura, His Highness Alhaji Umar Faruk Umar, leading the members of the Emirate Council and a parade of colourful horse riders and courtiers, received the President at the helipad in Daura.
Shortly upon disembarking, the President received the gift of a horse and a decorated sword in his capacity as Bayajiddan Daura from the Emir.
During his stay in Daura, President Buhari will carry out a number of private engagements, but he is expected to participate virtually in the meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday, to be presided over by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN).
The President last visited his hometown in December 2019, having stayed away largely due to the global COVID-19 situation.
