President Buhari crossed the 15 million mark in votes scored in 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.<\/p>\n

He polled 15,191,847 votes, winning in 19 of the states, after the result of Rivers was added.<\/p>\n

His main challenger Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party scored 10,782, 007 votes and won 17 states and Abuja.<\/p>\n

Buhari also satisfied the constitutional requirement of making 25 per cent in 34 states and the FCT. He missed the cut in Enugu and Anambra states.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Buhari scored 15, 424,921 votes to beat the PDP incumbent Goodluck Jonathan who scored 12,853,162 votes.<\/p>\n

It means Abubakar performed worse than Jonathan.<\/p>\n
