Vote-counting has started in Nigeria's much-anticipated election, a week after it was postponed by election officials who blamed logistical challenges.
The country's 73 million voters will choose between dozens of presidential candidates, including incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, who is seeking a second term to take the country to the "next level."
The other front-runner is Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president and both lead candidates cast their votes on Saturday, Buhari jokingly checking his wife's ballot to see how she had voted.
