The reason why President Muhammadu Buhari publicly displayed his ballot after casting a ballot in Daura, Katsina State, has been explained.
Buhari claimed he publicly revealed his ballot to demonstrate his support for Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.
He claimed that he displayed his ballot paper to show his support for the party.
Buhari expressed his happiness over the massive turnout of people during the election.
According to Buhari: “All over the place I mentioned my favourite candidate, Asiwaju Tinubu, and I believe my constituency will elect him 100 percent.
“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.”
Prior to Saturday’s election, there were insinuations of an alleged rift between Buhari and Tinubu.
Tinubu had accused Buhari’s government of using the naira redesign and fuel scarcity to frustrate his presidential ambition.
However, Buhari had urged Nigerians to vote for Tinubu.
