Buhari’s Arrival At Abuja Mosque Sparks Jubilation

The popularity garnered by president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari prior the election period, many said was pivotal in his March 28 presidential victory.
To a large extent, this fame was put to test as the president-elect arrived at Mambila Mosque in Abuja to attend his Jumaat Prayers.
It was gathered that immediately Buhari arrived at the venue, there were mammoth crowd waiting to receive him.
The President-elect, who quietly went to the Mosque, was surprise to meet a huge crowd comprising adults and children, who were cheering the President-elect in animated excitement with chants of ‘Sai Baba’.

But just after acknowledging the presence of the crowd by giving his magnificent wave, Buhari went into the prayer room to do the much needed, but not before a few handshakes.
