Nigeria Election Criticized by International Observers, Opposition Parties.
LAGOS, Nigeria-Early results from Nigeria's presidential election showed a sizable lead for the ruling party's Bola Tinubu on Monday, as international observers said serious logistical problems, violence and the slow publishing of polling-station results had marred the vote in Africa's largest economy and most-populous nation.
By early Monday evening, results sheets from just over one-third of Nigeria's 176,846 polling stations had been loaded onto the website of the country's electoral commission following Saturday's vote.
