There had been widespread reports that the President trekked for the distance to prove his fitness for re-election next year.
Buhari has now come out to deny the reports, and to insist he trekked the distance not to prove anything to anyone.
In a statement by his senior special adviser on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, Buhari said:
“This is my constituency, the people came out in their large numbers to see me and the car in which I was being driven had tinted windows.
“They were not seeing me so I came out so they could see me. I didn’t need to convince anyone about my health and the decision to contest for a second – a decision that I made public in April this year.” Buhari said.
