President enjoys Sallah celebration in Daura (Photos)

President Muhammadu Buhari celebrated Eid-el-Kabir in his hometown of Daura, Katsina state on Friday, September 1, 2017.

In photos posted by the president's Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, on his Twitter account, (@, President Buhari observed the Eid-ul-Adha prayer at the Daura Eid Ground.

He was at the prayer ground with Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruk Umar, and surrounded by hundreds of supporters also at the worship centre.

Chief Imam of Daura, Malam Salisu Rabiu, led the worshippers in the prayer and stressed the need to respect constituted authority in his sermon.

In a Sallah message directed towards Nigerians earlier on Friday, the president urged for peace to reign in the country, while stressing the need for unity.

He said, "On this occasion, I appeal to all to keep our prejudices aside and strengthen the bonds of friendship and unity, to keep Nigeria together. We must learn to see ourselves as brothers and sisters from the same heritage."

He also expressed gratitude to Nigerians who prayed for his recovery and safe return to the country while he was recovering from an undisclosed illness in London.
