In a gesture of solidarity and continuity, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Thursday paid a courtesy call to former President Mohammadu Buhari at his residence in Daura, Katsina State.
Accompanied by Hajia Nana Shettima, wife of the vice president, and several female APC leaders in the state, Mrs. Tinubu said the visit was to check on the former president’s health and express gratitude for the support.
The First Lady prayed for Buhari’s long life and good health, and sought his continued guidance not only for the current administration headed by her husband in person of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but also for the advancement of Nigeria in general.
Responding to the visit, an appreciative Buhari remarked on the significance of the First Lady’s gesture, noting its reflection of concern for his life post-public office. “As you can all see, she came to check up on me and see that I am doing okay,” he said.
The First Lady’s media assistant, Busola Kukoyi, disclosed that notably present during the visit were Hajia Dikko Radda, the wife of the Katsina State Governor, and Hajia Nasir Daura, the wife of the Speaker of the Katsina State House of Assembly, among other dignitaries.
