    The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the full names of candidates for the presidential and National Assembly elections.

    The electoral umpire published the names on its website on Thursday, 29 days to the general elections.

    The list was released by INEC secretary, Mrs Rose Orianran-Anthony.

    A total of 72 persons are challenging President Muhammadu Buhari and the ruling All Progressives Congress in the presidential election.

    The major talking points of the final list have been the exclusion of APC governorship candidate, Tonye Cole from the governorship election.
