Muhammadu Buhari

Nigerian officer and politician (1942–2025) from Daura in Katsina State who ruled Nigeria as military head of state from 31 December 1983 until Ibrahim Babangida overthrew him on 27 August 1985 and detained him for three years. He then ran three times for the presidency unsuccessfully before winning in 2015 — the first opposition candidate to defeat a sitting president — and again in 2019, governing until 2023. He died in a London clinic on 13 July 2025 and was buried at his home in Daura.
