Buhari while voting in Daura, Katsina State, displayed his ballot paper, with a thumbprint for the APC presidential candidate, Tinubu.
He assured that he had always supported the candidature of Asiwaju Tinubu, and the show of his ballot paper to the media and the public further shows his commitment to the party and the national leader.
“APC will win, from Daura to Lagos,” Buhari said after casting his vote alongside his wife, Mrs Aisha Buhari, and other family members, at Ward A, Sarkin Yara Polling Unit, 003.

Buhari, however, said it was a pity that only one female emerged as the gubernatorial candidate of the APC, Aisha Ahmed Binani, urging support for the candidate.
He 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.”
Buhari said he feels “very exciting” that the 2023 presidential election was the first time since 2003 that he was not on the ballot contesting for office.
“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.” (The Guardian)
