Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Muhammadu Buhari has disclosed why he openly showed his ballot paper after voting in Daura, Katsina State.<\/p>\n

Buhari said he displayed his ballot paper openly to show that he voted for the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

He said the display of his ballot paper was to demonstrate his allegiance to the party.<\/p>\n

Buhari expressed his happiness over the massive turnout of people during the election.<\/p>\n

According to Buhari: \u201cAll over the place I mentioned my favourite candidate, Asiwaju Tinubu, and I believe my constituency will elect him 100 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigerians should make sure that they are respected; that means that the candidate they want to vote for they are allowed to vote for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to Saturday\u2019s election, there were insinuations of an alleged rift between Buhari and Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Tinubu had accused Buhari\u2019s government of using the naira redesign and fuel scarcity to frustrate his presidential ambition.<\/p>\n

However, Buhari had urged Nigerians to vote for Tinubu.<\/p>\n
