Despite retiring to Daura, Buhari receiving tons of visitors - Garba Shehu

Garba Shehu, former spokesman to the immediate past president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, lamented that visitors and well wishers are not allowing Buhari to enjoy his well-deserved retirement in Daura.

In a post on the microblogging site X (formerly Twitter), Mr. Shehu explained that Buhari's decision to retire to Daura was to allow President Tinubu to lead without distraction. He further stated that Buhari, who works on his farm four days per week, is still inundated by visitors and well wishers who thronged to Daura to express appreciation over his 8-year stewardship.

Mr. Shehu said the former president was sympathetic about poor Nigerians spending their hard-earned money to visit him, and was even hopeful that the recent removal of fuel subsidy by the Tinubu administration would make such undertaking unbearably expensive.

However, the hike in fuel prices did little to deter well-wishers who now resorted to coming in groups to greet the former president.
