Former President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to his Kaduna residence after spending two years in Daura, Katsina State, since leaving office in May 2023.
Before leaving the office, Buhari said he would settle in Daura and care for his cattle.
A few weeks ago, while receiving journalists at his residence in Daura, Buhari said that he was feeding from his Kaduna House rent.
Now that he has launched a comeback to Kaduna, a city he retired to as a military president, it is not clear whether he will now be living at the boy’s quarters or he has evicted his tenants.
Besides his cattle rearing, there has been no concrete reason Buhari opted for a quiet life in his hometown and largely avoided active political discussions, focusing on private engagements.
President Buhari was accompanied to Kaduna from Daura by Vice President Kashim Shettima and high-profile dignitaries, including the governor of Borno State, Prof Babagana Zulum, and his counterpart, the Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, current and former Deputy Governors of Katsina State, a retired Inspector General of Police, former ministers, and several of his aides.
In a post by Buhari’s Media Aide, Bashir Ahmad, the former president met with a warm reception from well-wishers in Katsina, who were also received by Mallam Mamman Daura, Musa Halilu (Dujiman Adamawa), and Bashir Ahmad, who gathered to welcome him back.”
