In a poignant and historic moment, the former President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, and his wife, Aisha Buhari, bid farewell to the nation as they embarked on a journey to Daura, their hometown in Katsina State. This marked the end of an era for the Buhari family and a transition into a new phase of their lives beyond the corridors of power.
Amidst a backdrop of mixed emotions, the couple, accompanied by close associates and family members, arrived at the airport to board the plane that would take them to their beloved Daura. The departure was filled with a sense of nostalgia, as well-wishers, friends, and political allies gathered to bid farewell to the former President and express their gratitude for his years of service to the nation.
As President Buhari walked hand in hand with his wife, his trademark stoic demeanor seemed momentarily softened by the weight of the occasion. The couple exchanged heartfelt farewells with the crowd, acknowledging the support and dedication they received throughout their tenure.
During his presidency, which spanned two terms from 2015 to 2023, Buhari was known for his unwavering commitment to combating corruption, improving national security, and promoting economic growth. Though his leadership faced both praises and criticism, his departure from office marked the end of an era that had a profound impact on the nation’s political landscape.
