President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday received his primary and secondary school classmates in Daura, Katsina State.
A statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said the President enquired about each individual’s well-being, their health and that of their family members.
He said they prayed for the repose of those who died between last year when they last met and this year.
The presidential spokesman said President Buhari expressed his joy and happiness for the meeting, saying he got the same feeling that he used to have when they were young.
He added that they chatted for a while, talked about the school days and shared a lot of memories.
Shehu said the President thanked the schoolmates for their respect and feelings for him which they have retained over time.
He said the leader of the class association, Senator Abba Ali, commended the sacrifices the President had been making and urged him to maintain focus on the nation, which he said was more important than all else.
Shehu added that they presented a gift to the President and joined him in a memorable group photograph.
