The electoral commission has declared ruling party candidate Bola Tinubu winner of Nigeria’s presidential election.
Tinubu’s ruling All Progressives Congress party urged the opposition to accept defeat.
The announcement is likely to lead to a court challenge by Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi who finished behind Tinubu.
Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, Obi’s running mate, said a legal challenge was already being mounted.
Observers said polls were mostly peaceful, though delays caused some voters to wait until the following day to cast their ballots.
