Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, 76, is a former military ruler seeking a second term on a platform to reduce corruption.
The win was confirmed as Abubakar won in the very last state to declare – Rivers in the south – but could not claw back the deficit.Supporters of Buhari's All Progressives Congress gathered at his campaign headquarters in the capital, Abuja, to celebrate even before the final results were announced.

Buhari won in 19 states – including the two most populous, Lagos and Kano – while Abubakar was victorious in 17 states and the FCT.
