just right now with the fact that it was fired in 2017, the national company was sold to train or for just 4 to 5 years back. and then a lot of major reforms, not a lot of the major investment company ever since. and today, really with once the model of the country development 19th century is today. as simple as is not only fee to carry large number passengers i q i qx seen safety, but it's also carrying just one percent of the goods that are going through the country each year. so we're gonna be talking about one piece. so nigerian, our, the electoral electoral commission has declared bulletin, noble, president elect,

he was the candidate of the ruling or progressive congress party to number 18800000 votes. or turnip was just 29 percent with technical glitches undermining trust in the voting process. now the labor party, led by peter obee who won just over $6000000.00 votes, says it will mount a legal challenge against the result. holding the official result enough to g billing crowd, bola, made to new is the declared winner of the nigerian presidential election after a highly disputed vote. the man known as the godfather of lagos is a long time political kingmaker. he led a campaign with the slogan. it's my time addressing his supporters up to the result . he portrayed himself as a unifier. well, i don't

know where my walk on a yearly or not every one is convinced. so opposition, labor party plans to legally challenge new bows when it is all position that the purported results did not meet the minimum criteria of a transparent free and for election. in addition to the most condom novel, i tux wireless water intimidation of suppression. the election was conducted in class by a vision of agreed and promised i mc rules and guidelines. the uncertainty is also shared by some on the streets. modeling positions would you advise who were lies that he thought well lord, so no opinion a thing be issued to the issue? where did she do that? she would be the election. does it?

i'd say about them, it was in a free and you know, fair process because he was obviously rigged in every space. becoming president has been a lifelong ambition for to neighbor. but he may now have to wait for the courts to have their say. my lawyer, i spoke to political analyst, double your wallet, who's been an advisor to the nigerian government and now specializes in africa. democracies as a fellow at the london school of economics, i asked him on what grounds the opposition wants to legally challenge the result? well, that's the thing about the school of the nigerian president. it's a hotly contested position, but i assure you it is one of the most challenging jobs you could ever have. 200000000 people over to up to 2000 different ethnic groups, governing such a diverse quality with histories of ethnic and religious bribery. it's no small challenge. but i think at the top of the list for the incoming president i'm,

it will be talking the economy night you as the scene deep economic golf drums and that is affecting the masses also is the issue of security, not just in terms of the ram and the terrorist that i've been challenging for the summit of the nation for a while, but also in terms of things that kidnapping and badly treat then also is the issue of infrastructure and power even i do in a capacity, there may be an environment for them to be able to close it is known across the world. the nigerians are very and for neural industrial people without the infrastructure have the electrical power supply that they need to power. they cannot do that. he has to do that. but i think at the base of his list is unifying, a very divided nation. this was a very unique an election because of the 1st time we had a major contender from the south eastern part of the country, which has been politically marginalized is to be up. and in this instance, you have many people who supported that competitor who may feel

quite disenchanted and agreed. so the challenge before the president elect is to really nice the nation and he has already made utterances in by team he's contenders to join in this joint event. i'm this joint task of building a more united nation. i think nigeria can only move forward if you're able to address this talent, is of the really just on the, on the ethnic cleavages that continue to undermine its ability to become truly the kinds of africa as it should political analyst. that boy a wallace. thank you. very much for this analysis. thank you. a time now to have a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today. police until of eve have used some grenades and water cannon against protest as supposing the plant overhaul of israel's justice system. the protesters block roads and re lines on what they called a nationwide day of disruption. critics say the planned reforms will weaken the
