The political life of the president ex-nigeria in pictures

Muhammad Buhari’s life has been monitoring dramatic changes in Nigeria’s policy over the past five decades – and he has often been in the center of events.

The former president of Nigeria, who died on Sunday at the age of 82, became a military leader of the country after the coup, was put in jail of the new junta, and then rethink itself for decades to win the presidency in the democratic elections.

Often depicted in dark glasses or thick, black -cut spectacles, traditional zondon hat and sports wide smile, most of the Bukhara’s life was played in public.

Buhari – In the photo here in 1977 with the then King of Sweden Carl XVI Gustaf and Sheikh Ahmed Ahmed Zerk Yamani in 1977 – began her military career at once from school.

As long as this photo was taken, Bukhara rose to become a regional military commander.

A few years later, in 1983, the soldiers overthrew President Sheja Shagar.

Although Bukhara accepted the role of the military leader, he denied to build a coup, saying that he was simply established by the senior commanders who needed the main one. Other accounts describe the burgars as a more active role in the absorption.

After two -year -old iron control, characterized by a crusade against corruption and various human rights abuses, Bukhara himself was supplanted. A new junta put him under three years arrest.

In 2003, after a decade from politics, Bukhara decided that he would go to the leading country again.

This time he offered the highest work through the democratic elections – running for the party of all Nigerian peoples (Anpp).

Here he can be seen on the right, with his associate Chuba Okadigbo on the left and chairman Anpp Don Etib.

In 2003, Bukhara was well beaten by Olousgun Abasanjo, and he made two more failed run for the presidency in 2007 and 2011.

Despite unsuccessful applications, he accumulated supporters, including dissatisfied young people, with his promises to fight corruption and uncertainty.

Bukhara was particularly popular in the northern Nigeria, in the region in which he was born.

Here, a sign that is displayed in the city of Kadun during the 2015 elections, reports to passers -by that the locals will vote only for the “grandmother” of Bukhara.

In the end, Bukhara was elected in 2015, which submitted the incumbent Gudluk Jonathan.

He went down in history, becoming the first in the history of the opposition candidate who won the universal election.

The historical moment in which Jonathan called Bukhara To concede, it was fixed on the camera.

But finally, having taken the post, the first term of Bukhara was Rocky. The economy entered the recession for the first time in ten years, and the security crises have developed.

If the wife of Bukhara – in the photo below – publicly criticized its administration, the president caused indignation, saying she belongs to the kitchen.

Despite the problems of its first term, Bukhara was re -elected in 2019.

Being president of one of Africa’s largest economies, he traveled around the world, visiting loud peaks and meeting with his heads of state rulers.

Bukhara met Queen Elizabeth at the Commonwealth Leader in 2015.

Earlier in 2015, he was met at the White House by US President Barack Obama.

After his death, in the clinic in London, Bukhara remembered some as a person who violated the promises of the company and crushed dissent.

Others, he was the champion of the Order, which tried everything possible against the backdrop of the inhuman political system.

Honoring his old competitor, Jonathan called Bukhara a man who “was selfless in his commitment to his duty and served a country with character and deep sense of patriotism.”
