Why we gave Yusuf Buhari title, Emir of Daura finally reveals the truth
Earlier, following widespread criticism, the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Farouk, had finally revealed why a title was given to Yusuf.
The emir who spoke at his palace during the turbaning ceremony of four new village heads, on Thursday, December 16, said the title will prevent him from strolling around and Abuja and Yola, his mother’s hometown, when the president’s tenure was over.
He said:
“We are giving him this title to reciprocate all the good things his father, President Muhammadu Buhari, has done to Daura.
“Even if you don’t like Buhari, you know that Daura of today is different from what it were six years ago. So, to reciprocate this gesture, we gave him the title of Talban Daura, which he gave to his only son, Yusuf. This will prevent him from strolling around Yola (his mother’s hometown) and Abuja."
The Emir added:
“We have many sons in Daura who excelled have excelled, but do not want to be associated with it, so Buhari stands out among them."
