In Nigeria, newly re-elected President Muhammadu Buhari says he won the vote fair and square. But his main challenger, Atiku Abubakar, has denounced the result, calling it a sham and promised to take the matter to the courts. 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.
