Results coming in from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) indicate that candidate for All Progressives Congress' (APC), Bola Tinubu, has secured 44% of the votes so far.

These are from official results declared in 14 out of 36 states.

The People's Democratic Party's candidate, Atiku Abubakar has secured 33% while Labour Party's Peter Obi, who caused an upset by defeating Mr Tinubu in Lagos has 17%.

Mr Abubakar is a former vice-president who has failed in previous presidential bids, whereas Mr Obi is running for the presidency for the first time.

Mr Tinubu, on the other hand, is seen as a political godfather.

He now wants to be president and take over affairs from President Muhammadu Buhari, who is stepping down after governing for two terms.
