WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nigerian opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari, who appears to have defeated President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria's weekend election, won a cautious endorsement from two U.S. officials on Tuesday.

Reuters compiled a final tally of the results that showed Buhari with 15.4 million votes against 13.3 million for Jonathan.
