Less than 24 hours after he handed over the reins of power
to Bola Tinubu, former president Muhammadu Buhari was hosted to a special
durbar by a large crowd in Daura, his hometown.
There was plenty pomp, pageantry and celebratory gymnastics
on display.
A durbar is a festival that normally holds during Eid el
Kabir and Eid el Fitri celebrations.
It begins with prayers, followed by a parade of the emir and
his entourage on horses.
Bashir Ahmed, Buhari’s former special assistant on digital
media, described the event held on Tuesday as a “special Durbar celebration”
hosted by the Emir of Daura in honour of the former president.
In pictures and videos shared on his Twitter page, sonorous
traditional sounds permeate the air.
Men on horseback stir dust into the clouds, with energetic
dance moves to go with it all.
“How to welcome your
son after eight years serving the country as its commander-in-chief of the
armed forces,” Ahmed wrote.
