President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday advised the the electorate to vote for their preferred candidates even if politicians tried to offer them money.
He made the remarks while speaking with journalists after casting his vote at the ongoing governorship and state houses of assembly election at his polling unit 003, Sarkin Yara A in Daura, Katsina State.
The president, who spoke to newsmen both in English and Hausa languages said his administration had been preaching against vote-buying and monetisation of politics, calling on politicians to desist from such acts.
“If they (politicians) still give you money, collect, but vote for your preferred candidates,” Buhari maintained.
