After eight years as Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari on Monday afternoon began a new life without the paraphernalia of the office of the president.
Buhari and his wife, Aisha left the Eagles Square venue of the inauguration shortly after the swearing in of Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s sixteenth president alongside his vice, Kasim Shettima.
Flanked by members of his cabinet who came to say goodbye at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on Monday, Buhari bade farewell to Nigerians, boarded the Presidential jet and departed for Daura.
The former president was welcome by scores of his jubilant kinsmen.
The Emir of Daura, Alhaji Faruk Umar Faruk and other traditional rulers in the state were part of those who received the former president and his wife.
Before the handover ceremony, Buhari had said after his tenure, he would go back home to focus on his farms and tend to his cattle.
