The Emir of Daura, Umar Faruk yesterday appointed President Muhammadu Buhari as Bayajidda the Second, of Daura Emirate.

Bayajidda is the legendary Hausa ruler who reportedly killed the famous snake inside Daura’s Kusugu well and later established the seven hausa states.

Emir Faruk gave President Buhari the title when the president, who is currently on a private visit to his native Daura paid him a courtesy call at the palace.

He extolled the virtues of President Buhari and expressed optimism that his leadership will reposition the nation for the better, noting that the president is a worthy son of Daura who has continued to be its source of pride.

The emir later presented a gold plated sword and horse to the President to symbolise his appointment as Bayajidda II.
