Votes are being counted in Nigeria's closely-fought general election, with voting hours extended in some places following delays in the morning.
The main challenger to President Muhammadu Buhari, 76, is the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, 72.
Whoever wins will have to address power shortages, corruption, security threats, and a sluggish economy.
The election had been due to take place a week ago but was delayed at the last minute for logistical reasons.
President Buhari cast his ballot in his hometown of Daura in the northern state of Katsina. Asked if he would congratulate his rival if he lost, he said: "I will congratulate myself."
About two hours before polls were due to open on Saturday, residents of the town of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state in the country's north-east reported hearing several blasts and gunfire.
State police said in a statement that there was no threat to public safety. "The gunfire were not targeted at members of the public but was for security purposes," the statement said.
Borno is the birthplace of the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which had said it planned to disrupt the elections.
In the north-eastern state of Yobe, suspected Islamist militants attacked the town of Geidam, forcing people to flee, the Reuters news agency reported.
The initial vote was rescheduled in a dramatic press conference in the early hours of Saturday 16 February, just five hours before polls were due to have opened.
