The opposition All Progressives Congress (APC)
has declared victory for its
candidate, Muhammadu Buhari in
Nigeria's bitterly contested presidential
election in an election marred by confusion,
arguments and violence.
Victory for former military ruler Buhari
would mark the first time in Nigeria's history
that an opposition party has democratically
taken control of the country from the ruling
party.
To win the election, Buhari needed to win more
than 50 percent of the total votes nationally -
and take at least 25 percent of the vote in two
thirds of the states.
The 72-year-old built an early lead in northern
states dominated by the mainly Muslim, Hausa-
Fulani ethnic group of which he is a member.
Incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, whose
five years in office have been plagued by
corruption scandals and an insurgency by Boko
Haram fighters, was trailing by around 500,000
votes before votes in pro-opposition areas were
counted.
