On arrival in Katsina, Mr Buhari was received at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua International Airport by Governor Aminu Masari and his cabinet members and he proceeded to his hometown, Daura, via a chopper.
Garba Shehu, Mr Buhari’s spokesperson, in a statement on Wednesday, said the Emir of Daura, Faruk Umar Faruk and members of the Emirate Council were at the helipad to welcome the president.
