In 2015 fifteen million Nigerians voted for “Change”, choosing the All Progressives Congress as the vehicle and its flag bearer, retired General Muhammadu Buhari, as the spearhead to bring about a significant turnaround in the country’s affairs. It was quite the left field choice: Buhari had ruled the country as a Military Head of State in the mid-eighties without distinction and had lost his bid for the Nigerian Presidency on three previous occasions. This time however, he swept to power on a wave emotion, based on disappointment in the incumbent Goodluck Jonathan. Buhari promised to deliver on three pillars, to fight corruption, fix the economy and to put an end to insecurity issues in the country, particularly the war with Boko Haram. This book looks at the events of the Buhari presidency leading up to the 2019 general elections as they happened in real time, focusing on actions, inactions and reactions by Buhari and his administration, through the lens of these 3 pillars. The book has been put together based on a series of articles written over the period in question and has been released just ahead of the 2019 Presidential elections to provide a basis for assessment by the people, to enable an informed decision.
