President Nigeria votes in 'late' election

daura/abuja - Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has cast his vote in the presidential election, which would actually be a week earlier. The ballot went a week ago on the last...

The 76-year-old Buhari voted Saturday in the place where he comes from, Daura in the north of the country. He himself is one of the two main presidential candidates. These are the sixth presidential elections since the then military government in 1999 reintroduced democracy. However, the military did not lose control of the land. Buhari, for example, is a former general who made a military coup in 1983. In 2015 he was elected president as a citizen.
