Former President Muhammadu Buhari has moved to his residence in Kaduna, nearly two years after settling in Daura, Katsina State, following his exit from office in May 2023.
His former aide, Bashir Ahmad, confirmed the relocation in a post on 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) on Thursday night, stating that Buhari initially chose to reside in Daura to lead a quiet life, away from active political discussions, while focusing on private engagements.
“Today, former President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to his Kaduna residence after spending two years in Daura, Katsina State, since leaving office in May 2023.
“After completing his tenure, he opted for a quiet life in his hometown and largely stayed out of active political discussions, focusing on private engagements,” Ahmad wrote.
The ex-president was accompanied by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum, and Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani, among other dignitaries, signaling a strong show of support from key political allies.
Recall that Buhari, who handed over to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in May 2023, a month ago, noted that his health has significantly improved since leaving office.
“My health has improved since leaving office. People who visited me told me I look better than before,” he revealed.
