Its a very well deserved victory considering that an overzealous USA were hell bent on interfering. President Buhari on his part did really well to provide necessary support for him. Overall, when you make yourself an amazing brand of excellence, your worth will sell itself to the world.

I remember the United States Stood against his.re-election because his policies favour China more.

Good to know he remains president.
