President Buhari has arrived Daura, his hometown, at the start of a four-day official visit. He is expected to, among other engagements, participate in the APC membership registration and revalidation exercise.
The President considers this exercise a very important one for the nation’s democracy and its yearning for good leadership as a requirement of the process of nation building.
In a broadcast last week, President Buhari urged “all good people,” not only to speak but to rise up and “get involved in the task of improving their society,” adding that
“For most citizens, their greatest weapon is their vote. Register now for your Party and register when the time comes for elections.”
Last December, Buhari spent one week in Daura in what was also termed an official visit. The trip was however marred by the well publicized kidnap of hundreds of students of a Katsina secondary school.
