President Muhammadu Buhari has shocked the nation by publicly revealing his ballot paper to the cameras and the entire people present at his polling unit in Kastina.
The president who was present alongside his wife Aisha Buhari arrived at the polling unit to exercise their franchise as the first gentleman and first lady of Nigeria.
Buhari knowingly raised his ballot paper above his head revealing who he voted for, at the presidential, senatorial, and national assembly elections.
