Main two candidates only. In every year shown, the state figures add up exactly to INEC's national declaration. 2007 is not shown: no state-by-state breakdown of that election could be found in a reliable source. Figures come from public compilations of INEC results (Wikipedia; Psephos for 2011), not INEC's own documents.

Never certified: the election was annulled before the count was completed. These are the figures leaked by activists afterwards (via Wikipedia, citing Vanguard and a 1999 McGill thesis); they add up to the widely cited totals of 8,341,309 for Abiola and 5,952,087 for Tofa.

1983 is not shown: only national totals could be found, not a state breakdown.
