General Muhammadu Buhari, the popular
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), will
return to Nigeria on Friday, following nearly 10 days in London on a
campaign break. He had campaigned in 35 states before traveling out of
the country.
Buhari, whose prolonged absence fueled a festival of negative rumors
from his opponents, is reportedly in great health. He responded to
those challenges in one television interview by challenging his
detractors to a road race, saying he would like to see how long they can
last against him.
A source in his camp said General Buhari stubbornly stuck to his
decision to rest for 10 days after the Independent National Election
Commission (INEC) postponed the elections, which were initially
scheduled for February 14th.
The source further stated that Buhari’s holiday break has enabled the
APC to conserve its meagre resources to enable the party cope with
campaign finance requirements.
It is understood that last night, the United States and the European
Union put their feet down on the issue of the Professor Jega,
threatening to send President Jonathan to the International Criminal
Court if anything goes wrong with Nigeria as Jonathan tries to tinker
with the election outcomes.
APC sources said on Tuesday they had not decided on what form
Buhari’s return might take on Friday, as some people have suggested a
tumultuous party.
