He described the years of Buhari administration as “eventful years of progress and self discovery,” stressing that Nigerians now hold their heads high wherever they found themselves across the world, unlike in the past.
Umar said the emirate council would continue to support the administration’s policies and programmes targeted at making Nigeria great.
“You have restored the lost glory of our nation through your qualitative leadership,” he said while calling on voters to come out en masse and vote for the President.
Responding, President Buhari thanked all Nigerians for their unflinching support to his administration and pledged not to waiver in protecting and safeguarding the trust Nigerians have in him and the administration.
He appreciated the warm reception accorded him by the palace and the entire people of Daura, adding it’s a home coming for him.
