The President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s display of his ballot paper after voting during last Saturday’s Presidential election.
It would be recalled that President Buhari showed his ballot paper to the camera after voting for Tinubu during the February 25 Presidential election in Daura, Katsina State.
After Tinubu paid the president a visit in his country home in Daura on Wednesday, state house reporters asked the president-elect what his views were on the incident.
Tinubu responded that it simply showed that Buhari was loyal to his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said, “The calmness and commitment and the fact that after voting, he [Buhari] taught us again dedication to our party by displaying his ballot papers, loyalty to the party and being ready to create a future for all of us and no matter how tempting the problem of democracy is, he’s following the process, building a successor and ready to hand over peacefully. You know, in Africa, it is a big deal, you know.”
