Crowds wave and even took photographs as President Muhammadu Buhari appeared today at the Eid-El-Fitr Praying Ground in Abuja. The praying ground is located on the Airport Road, a distance of 300 metres away from the City gate. After the prayers, the crowd became almost uncontrollable as the people sought to touch PMB.
PHotos at the praying ground were taken by Femi Ipaye. The State House provided photographs of the homage ceremony.
