Election interview with Nigeria's Atiku Abubakar
Nigerians will vote on February the 16th and one of the main opposition candidates aiming for the presidency is a former vice-president Atiku Abubakar. A key issue facing Nigeria is security, including defeating the Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram. President Buhari, a former general, has not managed it. So Newsday's James Copnall asked Mr Abubakar, a civilian, why he thought he could do any better.
