“He has done his best for the country and we are glad that he is back home after serving the country to the satisfaction of Nigerians. We are proud of him, we are very proud. May Allah reward him,” he said.

On whether the president would stay in Daura for the rest of his life, Lawal Buhari said “You don’t know who Buhari is, that is why you are doubting it. He will stay here, he said it and he meant it. Wherever in this world Buhari said he will stay, I believe he will, even if is inside bush.

“He has provided a lot of resources in this town and we never witnessed a development in the country like now. We have never had this kind of achievement before.”
