The Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has cast his vote at his polling unit in Victoria Garden City, Lekki.

Osinbajo, who voted around 10:55 a.m., drew laughter from journalists and other voters when he asked while he was at the polling booth, โ€œGuess who I am voting for?โ€

While fielding questions from journalists after casting his vote, he said, โ€œIt (conduct of the elections) has been quite in order, I canโ€™t comment on the turnout.

โ€œOne thing I would like is for all of us to work together towards building the country,โ€ he said.

Asked what he would like to have as a birthday gift from Nigerians, Osinbajo said, โ€œThe greatest gift to me will be for all of us to come together across tribes and religions.โ€

The Vice President turned 62 on Friday.
