Garba Shehu, media aide to the former President Muhammadu Buhari, has revealed that his principal goes to his farms in Daura, Kastina State four times in a week.
He stated this in a statement released on Thursday titled ‘One Hundred Days after Buhari’.
According to Shehu, Buhari made the deliberate decision to reside in Daura, as opposed to Abuja, in order to minimise potential disruptions to the new APC administration. Additionally, he hoped that the physical distance would afford him the opportunity to obtain sufficient rest.
The statement reads, “He goes to the farm four days of the week and is upbeat about how well the crops and his animals are now doing. He gets a good measure of rest but the visits have not abated. To manage the numbers, he has a weekly program drawn for him as they did while he was in the Villa.”
Shehu claimed that the former president hosts a variety of “special guests” including party supporters, grassroots organisations, farmers, artisans, musicians, praise singers, nurses and doctors, religious leaders, community leaders, and a number of other professionals.
Shehu added that critics have declined to recognise Buhari’s accomplishments while he was in office.
“There has not been a single area that had not been touched by the Buhari government. We have seen massive positive changes in the last eight years but as they say, the one who is pretending to be asleep is harder to wake up than the one who is actually sleeping.
“Bullies who attacked governments and “something dropped” will continue to antagonize Buhari borne of anger from lost opportunities. A certain Buhari “critic” who served a Military Governor in one of the Northern States, even his underwear was bought from government coffers. When they came in they freed thieves, robbers and receivers of stolen goods and even gave them a working capital.
“Within a few weeks, crime returned to Kaduna, and yes, the other places and he has the effrontery to speak as he did. This society has no use for such squalid nonsense!
“President Tinubu, a wise politician, will equally see through their masquerade. Muhammadu has done his part and left. History will judge him, and fairly I think,” Shehu said.
