Contrary to speculation about insecurity, former President Muhammadu Buhari has relocated to his residence in Kaduna after nearly two years in Daura, Katsina State. The move follows the completion of renovations at his Kaduna home, which was undergoing a significant transformation while he stayed in Daura.
Background
Buhari had initially retreated to Daura after leaving office in May 2023, maintaining a low profile and focusing on private engagements. His decision to return to Kaduna was accompanied by Vice President Kashim Shettima and other dignitaries, including Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum and Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani.
Renovation and Funding
The renovation of Buhari's Kaduna residence has raised questions about funding, with speculation that the federal government may have covered the costs as part of his entitlements as a former president. However, there is no official confirmation on this matter.
Public Appearances
Since moving to Kaduna, Buhari has made public appearances, including attending prayers at a local mosque. His relocation marks a return to a more active public life, though he remains largely outside of political discussions.
