Opposition parties have walked out of the venue where results from Nigeria's tightly contested presidential elections are being announced. ➡️ NigeriaElections2023
The ruling All Progressives Congress and the PDP have dominated Nigeria since the end of military rule in 1999 but this time, Mr Obi from the previously little known Labour Party is expected to mount a strong challenge to the two-party system. He has the support of many young people, who make up a third of registered voters. There are 15 other candidates.
Mr Tinubu is a former governor of Lagos state and hopes to use his record there as the basis of his presidential bid. He also appealed for calm from his supporters after his loss, following reports of violence in parts of Lagos against traders from the Igbo community, like Mr Obi.
