Nigeria's president-elect Bola Tinubu has appealed for unity in an address to jubilant supporters after being announced the winner of Saturday's election. The former governor of Lagos said he wanted to work to make Nigeria great. Mr Tinubu, from the governing All Progressives Congress, won almost nine million votes - two million more than his nearest rival - and will take over from Muhammadu Buhari, who's stepping down after two presidential terms. Opposition parties have called for the poll to be cancelled, alleging result manipulation and concern about the slow counting of the votes. The electoral commission rejected the accusations. So what legal options remain for the opposition? 麻豆社 Newsday asked Ayisha Osori, a Nigerian lawyer who ran for parliament in 2014 for the PDP - now an opposition party - for her opinion. "Nigerians were expecting... electoral transmission of the results so people are rightly suspicious. It's very likely this might end up in court. [But] nobody trusts the judiciary."
