General Buhari also asked his supporters to ignore any distractions and remain focused on making the democratic process work, encouraging them to ensure that they collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) before the 8 March deadline.
The General reminded Nigerians that the country in a democracy, and that the greatest weapon each citizen has is his or her vote.
