President Muhammadu Buhari has landed in Katsina State and will now travel to his hometown of Daura to take part in the presidential and national assembly elections on Saturday.
At precisely 4:40 pm, Buhari’s plane touched down at the Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua Airport in Katsina.
Later on Saturday, he’s anticipated to cast his ballot in Daura for his top picks.
On Thursday, before departing Abuja for Katsina, Buhari called a meeting of the Security Council, where he met with the heads of the security services to inform them of the importance of protecting voters and making sure the elections go off without a hitch.
In Abuja, Buhari also met with Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and he urged him to make sure the elections are free, fair, and credible.
Also, he was present when a peace agreement was signed on Wednesday at the International Convention Center Abuja by candidates running for president in 2023.
All of the candidates running in the elections were urged by Buhari to accept the results as the people’s decision during the ceremony.
Buhari, who is spending his final term as president, has stated numerous times that he will leave behind an election process that will be regarded as credible and transparent.

On May 29, 2023, Buhari is anticipated to surrender the reins of power to his replacement.
