Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been declared the winner of Nigeria's fiercely contested presidential election but many, including opposition parties, have claimed the poll was rigged. They have called for the election to be cancelled, alleging breaches of the Electoral Act and possible collusion by the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec) to doctor the result in Mr Tinubu's favour. The allegations have been denied by Inec and Mr Tinubu's party, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). As for the opposition parties, they have so far not offered any concrete proof to back up their allegations. The Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, author of Half of a Yellow Sun, spoke to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ. She says she thinks the election was a sham.
