Atiku Abubakar

Nigerians will vote on 16 February and one of the main opposition candidates aiming for the presidency is former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

A key issue facing Nigeria is insecurity, including defeating the Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram. President Muhammadu Buhari, a former general, has struggled to quell the threat posed by the jihadists.

The BBC's Newsday presenter James Copnall asked Mr Abubakar why he thought he could do any better. (BBC)
