President Muhammadu Buhari has arrived in Daura, his hometown, at the start of a four-day official visit.
According to a statement by Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Garba Shehu, the President was welcomed on arrival at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport, Katsina, by the Governor, Hon. Aminu Bello Masari, the Deputy Governor, the Speaker of the State House of Assembly and the Chief Judge.
Shehu said that in Daura, the Emir, Alhaji Faruk Umar Faruk, led District Heads and traditional title holders to receive the President at the Helipad.
Shehu said in the course of his stay in Daura, “the President is expected to, among other engagements, participate in the All Progressives Party, APC, membership registration and revalidation exercise.”
He said the President considered this exercise as a very important one for the nation’s democracy and its yearning for good leadership as a requirement of the process of nation building.
In a broadcast last week, President Buhari urged “all good people,” not only to speak but to rise up and “get involved in the task of improving their society,” adding that “for most citizens, their greatest weapon is their vote. Register now for your Party and register when the time comes for elections.”
Shehu said “the President is expected to return to the nation’s capital on Tuesday.”
