The frontrunners in Nigeria's presidential candidates hit the campaign trail on Saturday, in a major push to convince voters a week before the polls.
More than 90 million people are registered to vote in Nigeria where President Muhammadu Buhari is stepping down after his two terms allowed by the constitution.
Outsider candidate Peter Obi was not seen on the campaign trail but took to social media to call on his supporters,"the Obidients", to rally in several cities across the country. On Saturday morning, gunmen attacked a police station in the Ogidi area of southeastern Anambra state.
