At unit 37, the Four Square road, an unidentified youth attempted to steal a ballot box but soldiers on election monitoring chased him and he escaped to the bush.

Voting has fully commenced in most of the polling units visited and all the card readers are functioning well.

In an earlier report by Legit.ng, President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife, Aisha, were said to have cast their votes at the polling unit 003 Kofar Baru III, Gidan Niyam, Daura, Katsina state.

The president, accompanied by his wife, arrived the polling unit at about 8am, where both of them were cleared and issued ballot papers by the unit presiding officer, Aliyu Abdullahi.

Once again, Buhari was captured spying on his wife’s ballot paper, as the duo casted their votes during the governorship and state House of Assembly elections.

Recall that Buhari had also spied on his wife’s ballot paper during the presidential and National Assembly elections which held on Saturday, February 23.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
