Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has formally submitted his candidacy to stand for a second term of office as the country goes to the polls February next year.
The 75-year-old leader travelled to the Headquarters of his ruling All Progressives Congress in the capital Abuja, to hand in his nomination form.
President Buhari, a former Military ruler in 2015 became the first Opposition Candidate in Nigerian history to defeat a sitting President at the polls.
He was elected in the landmark election on a platform to improve Security, tackle endemic corruption and boost the Economy.
There have been questions, about Buhari’s fitness to govern after he spent months being treated for an undisclosed illness in London last year.
