"Nigeria, Africa's most populous country and biggest economy, faces its tightest presidential race ever on March 28. In one corner, there's the incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, under fire for graft scandals and for failing to quell the Islamist insurgent group Boko Haram.
In the other, there's Buhari, an ascetic former military dictator who ruled Nigeria in 1983-5, a stint best known for a crackdown on corruption and rule-breaking dubbed the "War Against Indiscipline." He has since run unsuccessfully for president three times.
Buhari's campaign team says he has met two former British prime ministers, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, while in town. But they won't say what was discussed at the meetings, nor what other meetings he had during over one week in London."

I imagine it is none of Nigerians' business that since mid February, Mr. Buhari has only been seen in public for 3-4 hours. Mr. Buhari and the APC owe no one an explanation and we are fine with that. Welcome to a culture of low expectations. Serves us right that we are in this humiliating situation. Nonsense.
