In a rare moment of national unity, former presidential candidate and Labour Party leader, Peter Obi, arrived in Daura, Katsina State, on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, to pay a condolence visit to the family of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The visit comes as the Buhari family commenced the traditional seven-day mourning and prayer session following a recent bereavement within the household.
Obi was received by close associates and family members at Buhari’s private residence. Dressed in solemn attire, he offered prayers for the deceased and expressed heartfelt sympathies to the family, describing the moment as one that transcends political lines.
According to eyewitnesses, the atmosphere in Daura was calm, as residents gathered to witness the emotional reunion of two political heavyweights.
Observers have praised the visit as a sign of political maturity and national cohesion, especially given the long-standing differences between the two figures.
Obi’s gesture, many say, sends a message of respect, compassion, and solidarity during a period of mourning that touches both the family and the nation at large.
