Former military leader Muhammadu Buhari is set to contest Nigeria's presidential election after winning a primary for the opposition APC.

He will challenge President Goodluck Jonathan - a repeat of the 2011 poll.

The elections in February look to be the closest fought since the end of military rule in 1999.

The 71-year-old former general, a Muslim from the north, seized power in 1983 but was himself deposed in a coup less than two years later.

He was up against four other candidates in the vote at the All Progressives Congress (APC) party convention in Lagos.

In the previous election, Mr Jonathan defeated Mr Buhari, with almost 59% of the vote against 32%, sparking widespread unrest in northern areas which backed Mr Buhari.

More than 500 people were killed and thousands of people were forced from their homes.

Analysis: Will Ross, BBC News, Lagos
The governing People's Democratic Party (PDP) has gone for continuity with President Goodluck Jonathan and the current Vice President, Namadi Sambo as his running mate.

The APC's chosen candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, says the last thing Nigeria needs right now is continuity and he is promising to tackle the country's insecurity, corruption and economic worries.

The former military ruler has been out of power for close to 30 years and although popular, especially in northern Nigeria, there is little evidence to prove he has what it takes to fix the country .

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT JONATHAN DOESN'T HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO FIX THE COUNTRY. He can only make it worse and we've have enough of worse.

Wetin goat see and keep observing the movement na him dog see dey bark.

Even the International community know na.

He wants to come and stabilize our oil.

The question is will a muslim candidate tackles the problem of islamic insurgency & extremist (Bokoharram and others), will they maintain good relationship with non islamic nation ?Then will shall vote for Buhari come next year

Metrofox:
and there's also little evidence the BBC & UK have Nigeria's progress at heart..

to be sincere buhari has to offer dz nation..buhari distroyed our ecomony, called nigerians names wen he was in power as a military leader ..he tot he will remain in power..abeg open your eyes

This is the plain truth.

WhiteTechnology:



He is so capable that he will stabilize the oil market

What he meant by that was to stabilise oil price in our local market. Not the international oil price being managed by Opec and market trend.

You won't agree less that the local oil market can and should be stabilised. Like it's very certain there will be oil scarcity and fluctuations in price early next year which shouldn't be cos we (sorry, Niger Deltans) own the oil.

Nobody says Jonathan is the greatest president we could have had

But Buhari is not the alternative

After Jonathan, we should move forward not 30years backward!

DonaldGenes:
An insane Nigerian Will agree with this hogwash written by BBC....

Both candidates are capable but one is more capable than the other which is Buhari, his body.language alone will make anyone not to steal... I carefully read his speech /body language...

You really believe what you wrote here? .

Zoharariel:


Thank you, my brother. The American & the British governments know GMB is a bad market for their agenda.

They know GMB will not hesitate to sideline & cut them off, just like he did to them in 1984, resulting in the I.B.B coup d'etat in August 1985, which was a C.I.A & MI6 backed plot.

Our concern now should be GMB's safety because we do not need star gazers & astrologers to tell us the C.I.A & MI6 will throw hits at him again just like they attempted in Kaduna.

ur head deh dia

You and ur likes are the insane Nigerians, just know that ur number don't count.

Seems their plan with Atiku didn't work!

Only fools will believe GMB can fix Nigeria under democracy when he is intolerant. How would he work with the senate, HOA, Courts....... What are his plans?

Sometimes I wonder if Buhari was under influence when he
1. Committed to the spread of sharia in Nigeria
2. Told Muslims to vote only Muslims
3. Promised to soak dog and baboon in blood
4. Promised to stabilize crude oil price (is he OPEC?)
5. Put Shagari on house arrest and put Ekwueme in kirikiri prison

This man called buhari with very evil antecedents can never be the president of Nigeria.

A Dead Buhari is more Promising than a Living Jonathan

We are sick and tired of having 5 non-performing Presidents!
We are sick and tired of the Jonathan Virus! All we need now is the Buhari antivirus, Buhari immunization, Buhari vaccination. Call it Buharistreptomycine.

The 2015 Elections is vitally important to us as a Nation and as a People. Our destiny lies in our own hands.

Let's vote out Cluelessness! Let's vote out Inflation! Let's vote out Bombings! Let's vote out Tear gassing! Let's vote out Kidnapping!
#WakeUpNigeria

all other parties need to merge and produce someone

Here we are looking forward to a better Nigeria. All we need as a country is a transformer, a reformer or a radical change in all spere of the country. Who the cap fit, let him wear.

All ds old f00ls hardly die on time ⊙︿⊙ Look at Buhari for example.... (¬_¬)

Frankenstein:
Wow. America and Britain are afraid of Buhari because the general will arrest and imprison corrupt Yanks and Brits once he steps into power.

Don't forget he won't be a Military dictator by then again, so all his actions are subject to check and balances by the Legislators and the court. Wake up, the game is different!

Here we are looking forward to a better Nigeria. All we need as a country is a transformer, a reformer or a radical change in all spere of the country. Who the cap fit, let him wear.

Yes o,he wil win by d grace of GOD,2015 sai GMB.

I wish him luck...even though I can barely understand what he is reading.

It sounds like a lullaby.

True for people who know the difference , as a millitay ruler u can do what u like, .....under democracy u are bound by laws, and decision making is a long process, so if u achieve so little as millitary ruler, how can u achieve much in short time span as a democratic president

tank u...educate dem...they need it n dats Gej is buildin skools for dem in d north but dem no one stil go

2 Questions for you

What will be the price after stabilization.?

How will he achieve it.?

Keep your opinion, we do need change from the culture of impunity.

After he fufilled his promise and make nigeria ungovernable...so if he win the election, he will control all boko aram to stop bombing...buhari there is God o...the God we are sharing in Nigeria will judge o.....wiping my tears
with white ankerchief

Suddenly the FP is now awashed with anti-Buhari thread.


You cannot suppress the truth. Buhari has what it takes to lead this nation out of the doldrum that Jonathan and his PDP has brought us into.


CHANGE IS COMING.

My fear now is, if he chooses a Southerner and a Christian as his VP and dies few days into the government and the VP becomes the president, the North will say they are short changed again and yet they presented a quarter to die man again like in the time of Yar Adua.

Has ur prime minister or head of govt or whatever name u call dem in ur country been able to fix ur country?I dont no why u people decided to take panadol for someone else headache. Eyin Oniranu

is this Obiagelli or Berem?

CHAI!!!! TOO MUCH UGLINESS IN ONE PLACE!!!!!

Very like ly that this fellow is bebefitting from this present adminstration

Truth is Nigeria can be fixed by even an O level student who hates corruption and can't condone it

To fix Nigeria is only a matter of common sense:

Plug all holes for corrupt practices
Slash the cost of governance
Get Power available and cheap for rapid industrialisation that will check needless imports, save forex, create massive employment
Tackle Agriculture and cheap transportation of the products across Nigeria such that food becomes a non problem

All the savings, job creation willguarantee security and finance good healthcare, improved educatinal system and massive infrastructural development

sweetgala:


2 years actually, and you might want to go review the improvements experienced then written in nigerian history for all to see.
I read an article recently that revealed they were so much pressed with sense of duty that Buhari/Idiagbon did not concern themselves with rumours of an impending Babangida Coup .

Compare that to GEJ who has spent the last 2 years instigating political battles.

Gej has been faced wit d greatest challenge of all as a country, terror and ill educated nigerian masses like u!

Rust or Ross should just mind his biz because Nigerian electorate will surely decide come February.
The heat is on them.
