Inec Officially Declears President Buhari As The winner of 2019 Election (READ FULL DETAILS)

All Progressives Congress ’ s Muhammadu Buhari has been re -elected as Nigeria ’s president for another four- year term after facing down stiff competition from his closest challenger Atiku Abubakar of the People ’s Democratic Party .

Buhari was declared the winner of the election in Wednesday morning , more than three days after voting closed in most of the polling centres .

Abubakar, a former ally of President Buhari , led a motley pack of challengers, most of whom posed no serious obstacle to Buhari ’s re -election .

Observers said killings , malpractices and attacks on electoral officials marred the elections which held a week after it was earlier scheduled .

In the final tally announced by the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission , Prof Mahmood Yakubu , Buhari polled 15 , 191 , 847 votes while Abubakar, a former Nigerian vice president between 1999 and 2007 , got 11 , 262 , 978 votes.

The bulk of Buhari ’s numbers came from the North where he has a cult following.

Both Buhari and Atiku are from the northern part of Nigeria . Analysts had predicted before the elections that being northern Muslims , the two front runners will share the votes from the region.

But Buhari ’s popularity in Kano , his native Katsina , insurgency- ravaged Yobe and Borno states , and Zamfara was too much for PDP ’s Atiku to contend with .

The president also won in four out of six states in Southwest , a traditional stronghold of the APC , and four states in the country ’s north -central which many believed will swing towards the opposition .
