What next for Nigeria's elections?
In Nigeria, newly re-elected President Muhammadu Buhari says he won the vote fair and square.

What could that process look like, and is this election a step backwards for Nigerian democracy? Newsday's Bola Mosuro and James Copnall discuss this with Idayat Hassan, from the Center for Democracy and Development West Africa in Abuja.
