The president on Monday, August 20, left the Presidential Villa, Abuja, for the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, at about 3.06pm.
Some top government officials including his Chief of Staff Abba Kyari, the National Security Officer Babagana Monguno and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation Boss Mustapha, saw Buhari off as he left for his hometown.

Eid-ul-Adha offers an opportunity to remember the submission of Prophet Ibrahim Alaihis-Salam to Allah, by which he taught the world the value of sacrifice in relating with one another.— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) 21 August 2018
We must imbibe this lesson and make it a duty to sacrifice for others and to always remember those who are less fortunate than ourselves. Selfishness, greed and corruption have no place in our lives and in our dealings with one another.— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) 21 August 2018
On this occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, I urge all Nigerians to rise above personal, group, sectarian and other interests, and to promote harmony and tolerance in dealing with one another at all times.— Muhammadu Buhari (@MBuhari) 21 August 2018
I felicitate with all Nigerians, particularly the Muslim faithful, on this year’s celebration. I assure you all that our administration will not rest or relent as we work to build the Nigeria of our dreams—secure, prosperous and free from the ravages of corruption.
