The vice-president had changed his polling unit PU-011 on Swimming Pool road, near Police College, to avoid a repeat of the 2011 embarrassment after he lost his then polling unit.
LEADERSHIP correspondent gathered while incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan got bloc votes from Southern Kaduna senatorial district, his arch-rival of the APC, Gen Buhari, was cruising home with bloc votes from Kaduna Central and Kaduna North senatorial districts.
Buhari, according to checks by LEADERSHIP correspondent, was likely to win with about 60 percent of the votes.
