Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, on Saturday, delivered his polling unit for President Muhammadu Buhari with 182 votes while the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, scored 25.

The governor also wielded his political strength in the polling unit where Senator Shehu Sani contested on the platform of the People’s Redemption Party, by ensuring that his candidate who contested on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Mr Uba Sani, polled 236, while Sani scored 51.
El-Rufai, who got to his polling unit 024 in Agwa Seriki area of the metropolis at 9:20am, spent four hours in the queue before he was accredited and voted around 1:15pm.

The situation was, however, different in the polling unit of Senator Shehu Sani, which is also located in Agwa Seriki ward, as the PRP senatorial candidate was accredited and voted within 30 minutes.

The All Progressives Congress National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has told those asking questions about the presence of bullion vans at his residence in Bourdillon, Ikoyi, to mind their business, adding that he can keep his money anywhere he wants.

Tinubu said this while fielding questions from journalists on Saturday in Ikeja.

Some pictures had gone viral on social media on Friday showing two bullion vans making their way into Tinubu’s premises.

According to speculations, the vans allegedly contained either ballot papers or huge sums of money.



But the former governor of Lagos State said he was not a government contractor and therefore had the right to spend his money as he pleased.

He said, “What is your issue with bullion vans in my house? I have not done any government business in the last five years. So I didn’t steal government money.

“And the bullion van was not said to contain election materials. So what offence have I committed?

“I decide where to keep it (money) and how to keep it.”
