The Emir of Daura, Farouk Umar, on Saturday turbaned Yusuf Buhari, the son of President Muhammadu Buhari as Talban Daura and district head of Kwasarawa community.

Mr Umar said he was appointing the young Buhari as district head because of the developmental strides brought to the emirate by his father.
