“As you can see, I just cast my vote in my Yayaji polling unit in my Kafin Madaki hometown. So far so good based on my assessment everything is going smoothly”, the NNPP gubernatorial candidate stated”.

He added, “From all indications, we will emerge victorious base on the reports we are receiving from the situation room. My expectation is that the NNPP will sweep all the 31 seats of the Bauchi State House of Assembly”.
