Pictures of Hanan alighting from the presidential jet at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Airport, Bauchi with entourage, surfaced online eliciting negative reactions in some quarters that the first family were living large when majority of Nigerians are in penury.
Hanan was picked up in a convoy of about 15 vehicles heading to the Government House.
The critics based their argument on the fact that the president’s daughter who recently graduated with a first class in photography from Ravensbourne University, London went to Bauchi on a private visit, regarding her project, which is on Northern culture.
The view which the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, also held was ventilated via a statement the main opposition released where it accused the presidency of impoverishing Nigerians while cosseting themselves.
Report said Bauchi Emirate, in a colourful display, had reeled out its cultural architecture for the President’s daughter’s photography project.
The Head of research in the Palace of Dr. Rilwanu Adamu Suleiman, Alhaji Ado Dan Rimi (Wakilin Tarihi) said Hanan was in the state for a personal visit.
Ado, who conducted and organised the emergency cultural display, said Hanan was in the Palace for her photography project after her graduation from a London university.
In 2019, the President’s daughter was said to have graduated with a first class in photography from Ravensbourne University, London and was said to be writing her project on Northern culture.
He said: “She is undertaking her project, while focusing on our cultural Durbar. She requested for three horses, but we prepared 12 well-decorated horses for her. I was part of those that conducted her round in horse racing and dancing, while she was taking pictures of the event organised within the Palace.
“Though the Durbar is an occasional event done a day after Sallah every year, the Emir can order for its display for a very important persons, and you know President Buhari’s daughter is also an important person.”
