The election was largely peaceful but also witnessed violence in a number of states, including Lagos State where thugs disrupted the process and injured voters.

The main contenders are Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives' Congress (APC) and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP).

Obi sensationally beat Tinubu in Lagos, the home turf where the latter was governor between 1999 and 2007 and established a political dynasty.

We covered Lagos State on election day, and these were the best stills:
