He was received at the airport by Governor Aminu Bello Masari, other top government officials, Emirs of Katsina, Dr. Abdulmumini Kabir Usman and his counterpart from Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruq.

After the ceremonies, Buhari moved to the helipad of the airport where he boarded a helicopter to Daura.

He’s spending the holidays there.

The President’s arrival for the Sallah festivity was the first since his return from the medical vacation trip to the United Kingdom.
