Defeated Nigerian opposition presidential candidate of People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has dragged the president-elect Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigeria’s National election body to court.
Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari as winner of the sixth election since the country’s return to democracy in 1999.
Contesting on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Buhari scored 15,191,847 votes to beat former vice-president Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), who came in second with 11,262,978 votes.
