President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday played host to some Nigerian Senators in his Daura Home, Katsina. The senators, led by Abdullahi Adamu were in the state on a condolence visit following the death of their colleague, Senator Mustapha Bukar. The President while receiving the senators thanked them for their support and show of solidarity with the people of Katsina North senatorial district in the aftermath of the death of the Senator representing the zone.
He also commended the legislators for identifying with the government and people of Katsina State, the Daura Emirate Council and the Bukar family, in their period of grief. He was particularly elated that that Senator Bukar’s colleagues have paid glowing tribute to him as a detribalized leader whose contributions may not be easily forgotten.
Senators received by the President include en. Ovie Omo-Agege, Sen. Ali Ndume, Sen. Babajide Omoworare, Sen. Adamu Abubakar, Sen. Yusuf Yusuf, Sen. Hassan Adamu, Sen. Abu Ibrahim and Sen. Umaru Kurfi.
Recall that Bukar was confirmed dead in a private hospital in Abuja last Wednesday. He died at the age of 63.
