In addition to the wedding, President Tinubu is expected to pay a courtesy visit to Aisha, the widow of former President Muhammadu Buhari, at the Buhari family’s residence in Kaduna. This gesture symbolizes respect and continuation of the cordial relationship between the current and former first families.
The visit to Kaduna State by President Tinubu comes as part of his ongoing efforts to engage with various stakeholders and regions across Nigeria. By attending significant social events and meeting with key figures, the President aims to strengthen ties and demonstrate his administration’s commitment to national unity and development.
As the President’s visit progresses, it is anticipated that discussions will touch on matters of regional and national importance, further solidifying the federal government’s commitment to the welfare and progress of all states, including Kaduna. The visit serves as a testament to the President’s dedication to national cohesion and his resolve to listen to and address the concerns of diverse groups within the country.
