The Emir of Daura, Alhaji Farouk Umar, on Saturday turbaned Yusuf Buhari, the only son of President Muhammadu Buhari as Talban Daura and district head of Kwasarawa community.
The emir commended President Buhari for the positive impact his administration was making in rejuvenating the nation’s infrastructure and for its economic diversification.
The Daura Emirate Council recently appointed President Buhari’s nephew Musa Haro as district head of Buhari’s ancestral town of Dumurkol.
In attendance at Yusuf Buhari’s turbanning were Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, and Speaker of the House of Representative, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila.
Also in attendance were the Emir of Bichi in Kano State, Alhaji Nasiru Ado Bayero, former governor of Borno, Ali Modu Sheriff and members of the Katsina State House of Assembly.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has berated the All Progressives Congress (APC) party chieftains’ celebration of the turbaning of Yusuf, President Muhammadu Buhari’s son, as District Head of Daura, Katsina State. The PDP described the turbaning and celebration of Yusuf by the APC, despite escalated killings in many parts of the country as provocative, vexatious and heartless.
In a statement on Sunday, Hon Debo Ologunagba, the National Publicity Secretary of PDP, the party said: “is it not unpardonable that while the APC had failed to show empathy on the gruesome murder of scores of travellers who were burnt alive in Sokoto state, the massacre of over 15 worshippers in Niger state, other compatriots felled in Kaduna, Katsina and other parts of the country in the last few days, its leaders and officials in government had the time to attend the turbaning ceremony of President Muhammadu Buhari’s son in the same troubled Katsina State?
“Is it also not provocative, vexatious and indeed the height of heartlessness that APC and its leaders’ party while Nigeria burns?”
“Nigerians can recall that despite demands by the PDP, the APC and its leaders have failed to account for the ‘political mercenaries’ they reportedly imported from neighbouring countries as thugs, gangsters and hoodlums to unleash violence on Nigerians during the 2019 elections,”
The party added: “The least Nigerians expect of the APC is to forcefully give its government a marching order to develop a wholesome strategy to proactively tackle insecurity, including targeting the source of funds to terrorists, many of which were revealed by a foreign government, yet the APC government refused to take action.
“Unfortunately, the APC as a party of selfish and bloodthirsty “political bandits” does not have the commitment, readiness or capacity to do so.”
In August 2019, the nonagenarian emir turbaned the then President of Guinea, Alpha Conde, as Talban Daura.
The emir extolled the virtues of Mr Conde, adding that the honour was in recognition of the love he (Conde) has shown Mr Buhari and the people of Daura.
Dressed in traditional royal robes, Mr Conde was presented with a sword, a horse and a gift of cows.
Despite the fact that the title is held by the Guinean president, in September this year the emir announced Mr Buhari’s son as the new Talban Daura.
Its said that Yusuf Buhari deserved to be appointed as Talban Daura and district head of Kwasarawa considering the developmental strides brought to the emirate by his father.
The Emir added that in his new role, he would be visiting Daura regularly and be participating in the daily routines of the emirate council, contributing his quota toward its development.
The emir commended Mr Buhari for the positive impact his administration was making in rejuvenating the nation’s infrastructure and for its economic diversification.
