President
Muhammadu Buhari Friday in Daura broached the issue of his opting to trek some
distance after observing Eid prayers at Kofar Arewa Eid Ground and the humbling
hero’s welcome from the well-wishers that lined the street.
In a meeting with representatives of the five
local governments in Daura Emirate, President Buhari explained that the walk
was not about proving his fitness level or scoring cheap political capital.
‘‘This is my constituency, the people came out
in their large numbers to see me and the car in which I was being driven had
tinted windows.
‘‘They were not seeing me so I came down so
they could see me. I didn’t need to convince anyone about my health and the
decision to contest for a second term- a decision that I made public in April
this year,’’ he said.
