Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is the President of Nigeria. He is a retired Nigerian Army major general and was Head of State of Nigeria from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d'état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government.
He unsuccessfully ran for the office of President in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election, defeating the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan. This marked the first time in the history of Nigeria that an incumbent president lost to an opposition candidate in a general election. He was sworn in on 29 May 2015.
Buhari has stated 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".
Muhammadu Buhari was born on 17 December 1942, in Daura, Katsina State, to his father Adamu and mother Zulaihat. He is the twenty-third child of his father. Buhari was raised by his mother, after his father died when he was about four years old.

Facts have emerged on the real state of health of the Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, and it is now certain that he is alive and well and may soon return to the country. Therefore, NAIJ.com TV street reporter hit the streets to ask Nigerians what they think the president should first attend to as soon as he lands. What do you think?
Over 50 days after President Muhammadu Buhari left the country for the United Kingdom to seek medical attention, Nigerians have grown increasingly paranoid. We decided to ask the people on the streets what they think the president should do to reassure them that all is well with him. Should Buhari make a video call to reassure Nigerians?
All eyes were on Washington as President Donald Trump took office roughly 40 days ago. But at the same time, a much quieter transition of power was also happening half a world away, in Nigeria. President Muhammadu Buhari flew to London in mid-January to be treated for an undisclosed medical condition. Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is temporarily leading the country. But opposition leaders say Buhari has been out of the country for too long and he should resign. So what will this mean for Nigeria and the region?
