Bola Tinubu wins Nigeria's presidential election against Atiku ... (BBC News)

The 70-year-old veteran politician got 37% of the vote, official results show. His main rival Atiku Abubakar polled 29%, and Labour's Peter Obi 25%.

It is one country and we must build it together," he said in a televised speech. It is the only nation we have. While he met the 25% requirement in two-thirds of Nigeria's 36 states to show he was nationally accepted, the nature of the win indicates the absence of a truly national party. After fighting military rule in Nigeria, escaping into exile and being one of the founding members of the country's democracy in 1999, Mr Tinubu will feel that he was destined to become president. He added that they had the right to challenge the results in court but said that the lapses in the election "were relatively few in number and were immaterial to affect the outcome of this election". Many feel frustrated at what they see as a fraudulent electoral process.

Asked how the President felt about the elections, Masari said: “He (Buhari) is more than delighted, first of all for APC to have won this presidential election and in a peaceful manner. I intend to address Nigerians and the international community shortly,” he tweeted. The protesters, who were not deterred by the presence of security personnel, queried the electoral body on why the presidential election results were not transmitted electronically to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV). Speaking on behalf of the group, one of the conveners, Isaac Balami, accused INEC of violating its own rules by refusing to transmit election results electronically. “That is not to say the exercise was without fault.

At its most sublime, this certificate also symbolises that each of you has the ability to achieve what others believe is impossible for you to achieve.” I ask you to come in so that we may begin the task of rebuilding our national home together, day by day, brick by brick.”
