International observers have hailed Nigeria's elections, despite technical hitches, protests and reports of violence.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement voting had been "largely peaceful and orderly".
Voting continued for a second day in some parts of Nigeria after problems with new electronic card readers.
It is expected to be a closely fought battle between President Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari.
Thousands of opposition supporters in Rivers State have protested against alleged killings of campaigners and voting irregularities.
Nigeria's election commission said its office there had been set on fire and it was investigating the complaints.
