The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
Last week as he completed his Eid el-Kabir prayer at the Daura Eid ground in his hometown, Nigeria leader, Major General Muhammadu Buhari chose to walk home.
In Nigeria, we use the term “trek” to describe a long trip on foot, particularly when it is undertaken by a “Big Man.” In English, it actually means to undertake a short but difficult journey on foot, or to travel slowly or with difficulty. The video shows Buhari being accompanied by hundreds of people, including armed security officials, as he is cheered on his route. He walked with a made-for-TV swagger, appearing to be quite vigorous.
As in the presidential palace in Abuja, the president’s residence in Daura is a fortress, particularly when he is in the area. The armed security in the video is evidence. Beyond the video, it is to be expected that given the insecurity in Katsina State and in Northern Nigeria in general, Buhari knew that he enjoyed impregnable security on the ground and in the air.
