Buhari leaves Eagle Square for Daura

The immediate past President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, has departed the Eagle Square, Abuja, for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, en route to his home town, Daura, Katsina State.

Buhari left the venue immediately Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima were respectively sworn-in as President and Vice President on Monday.

Before his departure, Buhari formally handed over flags and other insignia of office to the new president.

Buhari earlier had dinner in the State House Banquet Hall on Sunday with Tinubu and other dignitaries.

The retired Army General had repeatedly said he would retire to his hometown to take care of his cows after his tenure in office elapses.

Buhari will, on Tuesday, in Daura, be hosted to a Durbar ceremony to mark his return and welcome back home.
