Where they stand on key election issues?
While the personalities of the two main candidates have been at the forefront of this election campaign, certain key issues - namely insecurity, elite corruption among high-profile politicians and business leaders and the state of the economy - have become increasingly important to voters.

Goodluck Jonathan Muhammadu Burhari

Security
Promises to do "everything humanly possible" to combat Boko Haram. Seeks greater regional and international cooperation to tackle the insurgency, terrorism, piracy and organised crime.

Says the government has been ineffective and lacks the willpower to fight Boko Haram. Pledges to end the insurgency within months if elected.


Economy
Says he will continue with his economic blueprint known as the "2011-2015 Transformation agenda". Views economic diversification as a key step towards addressing the fall in global oil prices.

Says government's economic policies have worsened the lives of Nigerians. Promises to pick "competent hands" to run the economy. Pledges to tackle poverty by closing the wealth gap through shared economic growth.


Corruption
Says "we are fighting corruption. It is not by publicly jailing people. Yes, we believe in suppressing corruption, but our emphasis is in prevention."

Says one of his key priorities is to wipe out corruption. "If Nigeria doesn't kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria".


Employment
Promises to create 2 million jobs each year. Launched YouWIN scheme for young entrepreneurs and Sure-P initiative aimed at helping graduates find jobs.

Promises to create 20,000 jobs per state, totalling 720,000. Pledges support for the agricultural sector and soft loans for small manufacturers to boost job creation.


Infrastructure
Credits his administration with reviving the railway system and improving road infrastructure.

Pledges to complete stalled road projects and improve infrastructural development nationwide, especially in the north-east.


Energy
Says government's privatization of the power generation and distribution companies will ensure regular power supplies in the future.

Favours exploration of non-oil sector. Says economic diversification key to addressing falling global oil prices.

Very straight forward. This is why BBC stays ahead of the rest of them. No sentiment but pure fact.

Buhari should leave Nigeria to move forward. GEJ all the way.
