Umar Faruk Umar, the Emir of Daura, says Nigeria is “lucky” to have Muhammadu Buhari as president at this point in time, adding that things “would have been very difficult” if Buhari was not at the helm of affairs.
He spoke on Friday, July 23, when the president visited him at his palace in Daura, Kastina state.
“Your visit to Daura reflects your good character which we are very proud of. I can assure you that men, women, children, marketers and artisans are always pleased to receive you and they will be praying for you.
Today is not for speeches but for appreciation. We have been blessed so much as a community because you are the leader of the country. You have brought honour to our domain.
Nigeria is lucky to have you at this time. I am not saying it to please you, but if you had not been in power it would have been very difficult. I doubt if we will be here today,” he said.
