No fewer than 50,000 youths in Daura, Daura
Local Government Area in Katsina state on
Saturday, held a rally in solidarity with the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The youths did the rally under the auspices of an
NGO, Buhari Youth Congress for Change. Daura is
the hometown of the Nigerian leader.
Alhaji Musa Badamasi , the secretary of the NGO,
said that the rally was accompanied with
marathon prayer.
He said the youths found it necessary to organise
the rally to make their position known on the
style of governance by Buhari.
Badamasi described most of the speculations
regarding the health of Buhari as nothing but
calculated attempts to tarnish the image of his
administration.
Badamasi assured that the NGO would continue
to rally round Buhari to enable him continue the
good work he had been doing for the nation.
Alhaji Sani Altine , the Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) chapter in the local
government, commended the youths for
organising the rally and prayed for the safe return
of the president.
He said the chapter would continue to support
the policies and programmes of the Federal
Government.
Alhaji Rabiu Fada, described Buhari as a God-
sent, especially considering the effort of his
administration to arrest the security challenges in
the North-East.
He said the unnecessary displacement and
destruction of lives and property in the North-
East had drastically reduced, stressing that the
president deserves commendation.
Alhaji Musa Abdullahi , the Daura Zonal Vice-
Chairman of APC also commended the youth and
assured them of support of the party whenever
the need arose.
He said Buhari was in good health, stressing that
“last week, we were in contact with him through
telephone.”
Since the departure of Buhari to London on
medical vocation, the entire people of Daura local
government have resorted to prayers in mosques
and other places of worship invoking God’s
intervention for his safe return to the country.
The Daura Emirate also held a similar solidarity
rally and prayer for the president last Friday.
