President Muhammadu Buhari, in Daura, Katsina State, displayed his ballot paper, with thumbprint for All Progressives Congress’ (APC) Presidential Candidate, Bola Tinubu.
President Buhari, who cast his vote accompanied by his wife, Aisha Buhari, and other family members, at Ward A, Sarkin Yara Polling Unit, 003, said it was a pity that only one female emerged as the gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Aisha Binani, urging support for the candidate.
Following his voting in Daura, monitored on Arise Television by Africa Health Report, AHR, Buhari said: “I am very impressed because I have seen how the people turned up. I am very impressed and very happy. Well, the candidate I voted for I have already mentioned him in many states in Nasarawa, Katsina and Sokoto.
“All over the places I mentioned my favourite candidate, Asiwaju Tinubu, and I believe my constituency will elect him 100 per cent,’’ he said.
President Buhari advised Nigerians to ensure that their rights to vote were always respected.
“Nigerians should make sure that they are respected; that means that the candidate they want to vote for they are allowed to vote for him.
“It is a pity there is only one female candidate from Adamawa State so the electorate should kindly follow our party.”
When newsmen asked the President his feelings since he was not on tha ballot for the first time since 2003, he said, “it is very exciting. I look at those who are competing and some of them are so agitated and they didn’t know that I tried three times and ended up in the Supreme Court three times.
“The fourth time I said ‘God dey’ and God sent technology, Permanent Voters Card, so no fraudulent person can claim anything,’’ he stated.
