President Muhammadu Buhari has pronounced winner of this year’s presidential election.

Mr
Buhari who defeated his predecessor to clinch the position in 2015
general election has again trounced his main challenger, Atiku Abubakar
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The president polled
15,191,847 votes from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and the 36
states in the country to defeat the former vice president who got
11,262,978 votes. POLITICS TIMES reported the stage by stage official
results as announced by the electoral body.

In 2015 when he won
the election, Buhari defeated his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, then
sitting president, with over 2 million votes, and now while seeking a
second term in office despite loosing many endorsement he had earned
during his days in the opposition, the incumbent president defeated his
major challenger with over 4 million votes.

Mahmood Yakubu, the
chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) made
the pronouncement at the International Conference Centre (ICC) early
Wednesday morning at about 4:40AM.

“That Muhammadu Buhari of the
APC having satisfied and scored the highest number of votes is hereby
declared winner and return elected,” Yakubu said.

While the
announcement of results was still in progress, the opposition party
called for a halt, rejecting those declared earlier, the electoral body
did not heed the call.

Already, the legal team of the two major political parties in the country are warming up to begin their day in court.

Meanwhile,
the PDP candidate has been advised to concede defeat and congratulate
the incumbent president for his victory at the poll. POLITICS TIMES
reports that he is yet to do so as at press time.
