PDP agent Elder Orubebe is ranting at the Inec chairman, Attahiru Jega, at the central Nigeria headquarters saying that he has lost confidence in him.

"We have lost confidence in what you're doing, we don't believe in you anymore - you have compromised - and we will not take it from you."

A spokesman at the Nigeria vote counting centre in the capital, Abuja, is urging patience. He said that returning officers have to come to the centre in person, which accounted for the delay. The Inec chairman, Attahiru Jega, has taken over the mic and has also apologised for the delay.

Nigeria's army says it has freed women, children and elderly people "locked up" in homes by fleeing militant Islamists at their former headquarters in north-eastern Gwoza town.

It is not clear how many have been released. The army said in a statement that those rescued were weak and in need of medical treatment. The army recaptured Gwoza from Boko Haram militants last week after a regional offensive.

It looks like Muhammadu Buhari's lead may well prove too wide to be bridged. Unofficial results from most of the remaining states, which national newspapers are already publishing in contravention of the electoral law, show even if there are eyebrow raising turn outs from Mr Jonathan's strongholds in the Niger Delta, he is still in trouble.

But this is Nigeria and predictions are dangerous. The biggest surprise would be if the result is not disputed by the losing side.
