President-elect Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.), has made the TIME’s list of 100 most
influential people in the world.
Also included in the 2015 list are the advocate of
the Bring Back Our Girls Group, Mrs. Obiageli
Ezekwesili; award-winning novelist, Chimamanda
Adichie, and leader of the Boko Haram terrorist
group, Abubakar Shekau.
The TIME 100 is an annual list of 100 most
influential people in the world whose works are
changing the world, regardless of the
consequences of their actions.
Described as “a new choice for Nigeria,” TIME’s
Africa Bureau Chief, Aryn Baker, said Buhari made
history in March by becoming the first candidate to
oust a sitting Nigerian President through the ballot
box.
“Now he has to live up to voters’ expectations.
From battling the Boko Haram insurgency to
tackling endemic corruption, Buhari has many
challenges ahead. The greatest may be overcoming
his past as a military ruler, who seized power in
1983.
“Already the born-again democrat is demonstrating
the inclusivity necessary to lead a nation driven by
ethnic and religious tension. It’s a promising start
for a President-to-be, who wants to leave a legacy
to match the historic conditions of his election,”
Baker noted.
Renowned Ugandan activist, Sister Rosemary
Nyirumbe, said of Ezekwesili, “It has been a year,
and the girls(Chibok girls) haven’t been rescued, but
she has made a difference by speaking about it.
Not just speaking but shouting. I know some people
will say she is too loudmouthed. The loud mouth is
needed. People hear it.”
Adichie was also described as “conjurer of
character” by the deputy Managing Director of
TIME , Radhika Jones.
“It’s the rare novelist, who in the space of a year
finds her words sampled by Beyoncé, optioned by
Lupita Nyong’o and honoured with the National Book
Critics Circle Award for fiction,” she said.
The last Nigerian to make the list is Shekau.
Described as the “scourge of Africa” by General
Carter Ham(retd.), a former Commander of US
Africa Command from 2011 to 2013.
Ham said Shekau was the “most violent killer”
Nigeria (and Africa) had ever seen.
Shekau took over the Boko Haram group in 2009
after the group had been weake
ned by the Nigerian
military.
