As the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari is one of the most talked about person in the country.
Nigerians can’t get enough of their president. They have been talking
about him even before he won the March 28 presidential election. His
age was a topic of discussion and most memorable was the controversy
surrounding his certificate.
After much drama and intrigues, Buhari won the hearts of Nigeria and
got majority votes in the presidential election, defeating former
president, Goodluck Jonathan.
Some love him and support him, others hate him and criticise him while some others are indifferent.
President Buhari was born on the 17th of December 1942 in Daura, Katsina state and today is his 73rd birthday.
To celebrate with the president, below are some photos that capture some happy moments in his life.
