The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ọjájá II), on Wednesday, paid a courtesy visit to former President Muhammadu Buhari at his residence in Daura, Katsina State. The visit was highlighted in photos shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Ahmad Bashir, a former media aide to Buhari.

During the visit, the Ooni and his entourage were warmly received by the former president. As part of their engagement, Buhari led the Ooni to the historic Daura Emir’s Palace, where they were received by traditional leaders and dignitaries.

Ahmad Bashir captioned the photos, “Today, Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ọjájá II), was in Daura with his entourage to visit former President Muhammadu Buhari. Before leaving Daura, the former president led the Ooni of Ife and his entourage to the historic Daura Emir’s Palace.”
