Breitbart: Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian President Who Presided over Christian Persecution Boom, Dies
Former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari passed away at 82 in London after a prolonged illness. He initially seized power through a military coup in 1983 and ruled with an iron fist, enforcing strict measures to combat corruption and unrest. His presidency was marked by economic turmoil and increasing violence, particularly from groups like Boko Haram.
Despite returning to power in 2015 as Nigeria's first opposition candidate to win a free election, Buhari's tenure was criticized for failing to address corruption and security issues. His administration faced significant backlash for its handling of ethnic and religious tensions, including the Zaria Massacre and the persecution of Christians. Buhari's legacy is viewed as one of missed opportunities and deepening societal divides.
