| Muhammadu Buhari & Goodluck Jonathan |
Muhammadu Buhari took a significant lead over the Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday night with half of the results declared in a fiercely
contested general election. Buhari, the opposition candidate, led with
8,520,436 votes against Jonathan’s 6,488,210, based on returns from 18
out of Nigeria’s 36 states plus the capital city. Turnout was
consistently higher in the strongholds of Buhari, who ruled Nigeria in
1983-85 as a military dictator.
