Katsina Election: Buhari, Wife, Vote In Daura
President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife, Aisha, on Saturday, joined hundreds of other electorates to exercise their franchise at polling unit 003 Kofar Baru III, Gidan Niyam, Daura, Katsina State.
Concise News gathered that the president, dressed in a sky-blue traditional babariga with a blue cap to match, arrived at the polling unit at about 8.00a.m, where both of them were accredited and given ballot papers by the unit presiding officer, Aliyu Abdullahi.
Buhari and his wife, with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) numbers 187 and 182 respectively, voted at exactly 8.08 a.m.
The president and his wife had performed similar civic responsibility during the Feb. 23 Presidential and National elections at the same polling unit.
President Buhari, who reacted to the decision of Atiku Abubakar to seek legal redress over the outcome of the election, told newsmen at the polling unit that: “I expect that to happen.’’
The president expressed concern over the reported cases of violence before and during the last presidential and national assembly elections.
He, however, commended the efforts of the security agencies in addressing the various security challenges across the country.
“I will leave it (security) to the law enforcement agencies especially the police because they have been meeting virtually on a 48-hour basis to make sure that they have identified the flashpoints, as you mentioned, wherever they are and make arrangements to counter it,’’ he said.
