Vice President Kashim Shettima has departed for Daura, Katsina State, to attend prayers marking the third day since the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who was laid to rest in his hometown on Tuesday.
Acting on the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Vice President Shettima is leading a high-level delegation of government officials and sympathizers to the former President’s residence in Daura for the religious observance.
Accompanying the Vice President are the Governor of Borno State, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum, and the Governor of Katsina State, Dikko Umar Radda. Several ministers and dignitaries are also part of the entourage heading to Daura.
The third-day prayer session is scheduled to be held on Thursday at the late President Buhari’s family compound and is expected to draw a large gathering of mourners, political associates, and members of the public.
