Visitors Forced Buhari To Leave Daura – Garba Shehu

By Sola Omoniyi, Lagos

Former President Muhammadu Buhari has been forced to leave Daura, his Katsina State home to have some time for himself, his former Senior Special Assistant on Media & Publicity, Garba Shehu stated.

He said in a statement that the President had hoped for some time alone in his hometown but had been receiving visitors who troop in day and night.

The former President, he said, had no choice but to move to “a more distant place.”

Shehu said Buhari would also prefer to give the Bola Tinubu Administration some space to function.

The statement reads: “If social media is to be believed, former President Buhari is requesting his successor, President Tinubu not to investigate some former officials of his government.

“It is fake; let us not discuss it or give it energy or air of publicity. This is fake news, and nothing more.

“Thankfully, there was no one other than the two leaders in the room in which they met, so no one was there to report their conversation.

“As much as possible, the former President wishes to remain outside the spotlight so as not to distract the new administration.

“He chose to go home in Daura hoping to find the type of quiet he wished for himself but realising that this was not the case, visitors trooping in morning, day and night, he moved out to a more distant place.

“It remains his wish that he be allowed to have his needed rest, and for the Tinubu administration to have the right atmosphere to work on the realisation of the promises they made.”

Recall, President Tinubu and his predecessor met in London, the United Kingdom (UK) on Monday, June 26th, 2023.
