Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, has won the 2019 general election after a delayed poll that angered voters and raised political temperatures, leading to claims of rigging and collusion by the opposition.
Buhari, 76, took an unassailable lead of more than four million votes with the last states yet to be declared, making it impossible for his nearest rival, Atiku Abubakar, to win.
Supporters of Buhari’s All Progressives Congress (APC) had gathered to celebrate at his campaign headquarters in the capital, Abuja, even before the final results were announced.
