President Muhammadu Buhari has advised electorate to collect money from politicians aiming to buy their votes, but ensure they vote for their preferred candidate in the ongoing 2023 governorship and state House of Assembly elections.

Buhari stated this shortly after casting his vote at Polling Unit 003, Sarkin Yara A in Daura, Katsina State.
