ABUJA, March 30 (Reuters) - Nigerian opposition contender Muhammadu Buhari held a sizeable lead as counting in the country's election resumed on Tuesday, raising the prospect of a stunning ballot box victory for a man who first came to power three decades ago via a military coup. Buhari held a lead of more than 2.5 million votes but President Goodluck Jonathan, currently with around 10.6 million, could still defeat him if the remaining states, some of them Jonathan strongholds, tally in his favour. Below is a state-by-state table of provisional and final results tallied by Reuters from INEC announcements in various states and at the central counting centre in Abuja.
