2. BlackTVOnline.com with Muhammadu Buhari. Buhari was the military ruler of Nigeria (December 31, 1983 – August 27, 1985) and an unsuccessful candidate for president in the April 19, 2003 Presidential Elections. His ethnic background is Fulani and his faith is Islam; his family is from Katsina State.
Buhari was himself overthrown in a coup led by General Ibrahim Babangida on August 27, 1985 and other members of the ruling Supreme Military Council (SMC) ostensibly, because he insisted on investigating allegations of fraudulent award of contracts in the Ministry of Defense. If that investigation had been carried through, it is believed that many senior military officers would have been implicated. Buhari’s insistence on this investigation was to become his fait accompli. A Palace Coup was planned and carried out by Babangida and some senior military officers whose necks were heading for the chopping block following the conclusion of the investigation. Without a doubt, this would have become Buhari and Idiagbon’s most bitter and shocking lesson on how endemic and widespread corruption had become in Nigeria.
In 2003, Buhari contested the Presidential election as the candidate of the All Nigeria People’s Party. He was defeated by the Peoples Democratic Party nominee, President Olus?gun ?basanj?, by a margin of more than eleven million votes.
