Nigeria’s President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari has been named one of the world’s most influential people by TIME Magazine. Other Nigerians who made the list are former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili, bestselling author, Chimamanda Adichie and Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau. Read their profiles as written on TIME’s website below: Muhammadu Buhari - A new choice for Nigeria (by Aryn Baker) Muhammadu Buhari made history in March by becoming the first candidate to oust a sitting Nigerian President through the ballot box.
