President Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has departed Madinah for Mecca, Saudi Arabia, in continuation of his eight-day official visit to the Kingdom.

While in Madinah, the Nigerian president visited historic religious places, including an extensive tour of the city’s International Fair and Museum of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilisation.

Also, as part of his engagement in the Holy City, Mr Buhari observed the five daily prayers, including Taraweeh, at the Masjid Nabawi before departing for Mecca via Jeddah on Wednesday night.

Mr Buhari, accompanied by some of his aides, is expected to perform the lesser pilgrimage immediately after arriving in Mecca late Wednesday night.
