Happy 80th birthday to the man with a heart of gold. Happy birthday to the best president Nigeria have ever had. Posterity will be very kind to you my leader.

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is a Nigerian politician who has been President of Nigeria since 2015.

Buhari is a retired Nigerian Army Major General and has served as military head of state in Nigeria between 1983 to 1985, after taking power in a military coup d'état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the authoritarian policies of his military regime. Buhari has said that he takes responsibility for anything over which he presided during his military rule, and that he cannot change the past. He has described himself as a "converted democrat".

Buhari ran for president of Nigeria in 2003, 2007, and 2011. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress party for the 2015 general election.

He was sworn in on 29 May 2015. In February 2019, Buhari was re-elected, defeating his closest rival former Vice President Atiku Abubakar by over 3 million votes.

If incompetence is a human, he will be Muhammad Buhari

The most useless and incompetent president in the whole of Nigeria's history!

Buhari, although you're celebrating your birthday.

It shall never be well with you

Ozwor like you

Happy birthday mr president.

Happy 80th birthday to the worst, most callous, most travelled and most unbothered President Nigeria ever had.

Thank you for making Nigerians so prudent and wise with their spending, and for turning all the women (both single and married) to oloshos and the guys (both educated and uneducated) to cultists, yahoo boiz, skit makers and ritualist

As you clock 80, may the remaining days of your life on earth be the same way as you treated Nigeria and Nigerians during your reign as the President.

Shalom!
Tabatiada!!
Sango olukposo!!!

Happy Birthday to you, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR..


God bless you real good.

Have fun

Fockery

Happy birthday Abu Zara.

Happy birthday to the most clueless president ever worldwide...sometimes good people die young because they understand the essence of life ,they learn about life early and God had to take them home early...while God can keep a wicked man to be alive above hundred to see to it that evil man was given enough time to reflect on his own life and make amend but to some they remain ignorant and wicked till the last day of their life on earth and spent eternity in a very terrible place...old age is not always a sign of God's blessings, nothing good ever happened to the wicked man even if he lived two hundred years on earth, after all he's going to eternity that can't be measured with human calendar....

Happy birthday to our CHANGE MAN...negetive way

I want to read Tinubu's biography like this.

The Daurra Disaster
The man who is solely responsible for the destruction of a whole country!
A genocidal irritant that craves for power for evil purposes.

This country has never known peace since his emergence in 1966.
Dude has been involved in all disastrous coups and bloody events since July 29 1966.

He led the coup that destroyed democracy in 1983. at this period, Nigeria was competing with most advancing countries today. If Nigerias democracy was allowed to grow since then, this country would have been a very prosperous country by now.

That coup chased out people like Jakande, Mbakwe, Solomon Lar, Rimi and co and replaced them with Babangida, Abacha, Abubakar and Useni them. Buhari chased out hardworking politicians in 1983 and replaced them with criminals that have looted the country down ever since!

Yet he got the corrupt media to sell him as an anti corruption czar!

happy birthday sai baba.

Baban Yusuf , Buhari Ikon Allah

Waiting for mannabbqgrils and co to come and greet their hero. As for me I mtcheeeeeew am 80 times.

Congratulations GMB

More years in abundance

If Buhari is 80yrs and still strong, it means Tinubu's actual age should be around 90yrs+
