Bola Tinubu is the new President of Nigeria in the poll that started last Saturday.

Turnout was high among young people who make up about a third of the 87 million eligible voters.

The candidates comprise Peter Obi from the previously little known Labour Party, Mr Tinubu from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Atiku Abubakar of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and 15 others.
