The president had gone to Daura, his country-home, where he went for the governorship and state assembly elections.

 Buhari left Daura with his wife, Hajiya Aisha.

The president took off from the Daura helipad at 11.10 am in a presidential chopper marked NAF-541 in company of his aides and close relations.

 He was accompanied to the departure point by the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Farouk, well-wishers and close associates of the first family.

 Meanwhile, Dominion News Agency(DNA) previously reported that President Buhari on Monday, March 11, said he looked forward to a mutual working relationship with the ninth National Assembly, which would commence its session later in 2019.

 Buhari said such relationship was necessary towards improving the budgetary process and restoring the country to the January-December fiscal cycle.

 The president said this in a statement released by his senior special assistant on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja.

 The statement quoted Buhari as saying this when he received his old schoolmates, who came to congratulate him on his re-election for a second term, at his residence in Daura, Katsina state.
