The personal assistant on new media who later spoke on the visit of the president said the president appreciated the efforts of the staff, who were mostly volunteers, for monitoring the ongoing collation of results of the elections.

Recall that Buhari had earlier pledged not to comment on the process of the collation of results of the elections.

Naija News had reported that the president had said that he would wait for the results from the INEC rather than believe rumours that his opposition is leading in the ongoing election.

The collated results of the elections so far released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja had indicated that the president has taken an early lead over his main challenger, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
