]]> Muhammadu Buhari’s won a second term as Nigeria’s President, according to an independent tally of figures from the country’s electoral commission.

His opponent Atiku Abubaker has rejected this result that still has to be officially confirmed.

Reuters in Nigeria is reporting that Muhammadu Buhari won four million votes more than Atiku Abubaker in the Presidential election that was delayed for a week by operational problems.

The electoral commission will review the figures it has put out and deliver an official result.

Buhari has his work cut out.

He has to restore Nigeria’s faltering economy still not recovered from a 2016 recession.

And he has urgently to address the Islamist insurgency that has made large part of North East Nigeria ungovernable.
