He was born on the 17th of December, 1942.

Buhari is the oldest person to assume the office of  President in Nigeria while Gowon was the youngest at 31.

He is the the fifteenth Head of the Nigerian government and the fifth democratically elected President in the history of Nigeria. 

His democratically elected predecessors were; Shagari, Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar'adua and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

He was Head of State of Nigeria from 31st December, 1983 to 27th August, 1985 after seizing power in a military coup.

       


During his rule as military Head of State, over 500 people were jailed for corruption and wasting of taxpayers money.

He built the two existing petrochemical refineries during his short stay in power as a military dictator.

He ran unsuccessfully for the office of President in 2003, 2007 and 2011 before emerging victorious during the fourth attempt in 2015.

         



Buhari is the second President of Katsina extraction to rule Nigeria.

In the history of Nigeria so far, he is the third Ex-Governor to become President after serving as the military governor of the old North-Eastern state from 1975 to 1976
