Rabiu shared pictures from the visit on his X account on Friday, saying he was honoured to once again meet the President and extend his wishes to him on the occasion.

“Honoured to once again visit His Excellency, the President, with Khalifa, and to extend our warm wishes on the occasion of Nigeria’s Independence Day,” he said.

Rabiu said the occasion provided an opportunity to reflect on Nigeria’s journey and look ahead to the country’s future.

“It is always a pleasure to share such moments as we reflect on our nation’s journey and look forward with hope to the future,” he added.
