President Muhammadu Buhari Casts his vote for the Governorship and State Assembly Elections in Daura, Katsina State.
Buhari called on the electorate after casting his vote that they should vote for their preferred candidates even if politicians tried to offer them money.
The president, who briefly spoke to newsmen both in English and Hausa languages after casting his vote on Saturday, said his administration had been preaching against vote-buying and monetisation of politics, calling on politicians to desist from such acts.

Buhari maintained:
If they (politicians) still give you money, collect, but vote for your preferred candidates.
He again thanked the electorate for trusting the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the Feb. 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections where the party’s candidate, Sen. Bola Tinubu, emerged winner.
Recall that the president, who cast his vote at about 9.55a.m, refused to ‘openly’ display his ballot paper as he did during the Feb. 25 Presidential election.
