President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday departed his country home, Daura, Katsina state for Abuja, to enable him to hold a crucial meeting with the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara. The President had travelled to Daura last week to participate in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ward Congress which was conducted simultaneously across the country.
According to NAN, 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.
Meanwhile, NAN quoted unconfirmed sources as saying 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.
At the time of filing this report, the President was yet to arrive Abuja.
