The winner was announced on Wednesday at 04:00am.

The timing of the announcement has raised international eyebrows on whether the elections were free and fair.

As results started trickling in, Nigeria police cautioned citizens against incitement.

Tinubu on his part has called for tolerance and appealed for unity.

People's Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP) and ADC demanded the resignation of INEC Chairman and allow someone else to conduct a fresh presidential election.

In Nigeria's presidential election, Tinubu scored 36% of the total votes cast. He was trailed by Atiku Abubakar 29%, Peter Obi 25% and other candidates sharing 2% of the votes.

Tinubu becomes the fifth president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria since the end of the military rule.
