Gen Buhari is a gentleman well known for
his discipline.A former head of state(military),
that came to power with the aid of the gun- in his
words-to end indiscipline.Contested president twice before
with the ANPP before being shoved out and forced to set-up
his own party.
Idolized in Northern Nigeria by the "talakawas"
(masses) & by many non-northerns for his humility
and financial discipline.He represent a real challenge
to the PDP in the race to Aso Rock though he is seen by
many as a religious fanatics(no thanks to his comments) &
an unrepentant sectionalist.This views may turn out to be
his undoings.
His running mate Pst. Tunde Bakare is a preacher & a fierce
social critics.
The CPC is a new party founded by Buhari after he was fustrated
out of the ANPP.With a green but strong-membered structure,it will
be difficult to judge its strenght against grounded parties like
the PDP,ANPP & ACN. The upcoming election will determine if the
CPC will last or fizzle out!
