Nigeria opposition party rejects elections results

Nigeria's incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari is set to win the 2019 Presidential Elections by a comfortable margin of almost four million votes, according to official results. However, the opposition's People Democratic Party has rejected the results, with their Chairman branding the vote count as "incorrect and unacceptable". President Buhari's victory comes amidst a delayed polling date and a sharp fall in turnout figures. Professor of Democracy at the University of Birmingham Nic Cheeseman looks at why the voters' turn up was so low, while the BBC correspondent Ishaq Khalid speaks to market vendors in Kano State, where almost 80% of the voters chose President Buhari
