ABUJA - Nigerian opposition contender
Muhammadu Buhari held a sizeable lead as counting in the
country's election resumed on Tuesday, raising the prospect of a
stunning ballot box victory for a man who first came to power
three decades ago via a military coup.
Buhari held a lead of more than 2.5 million votes but
President Goodluck Jonathan, currently with around 10.6 million,
could still defeat him if the remaining states, some of them
Jonathan strongholds, tally in his favour.
