Nigeria: Muhammadu Buhari nominated to run against Goodluck Jonathan

Alluding to that in his acceptance speech to party delegates, Buhari said “I am not a rich person. I cannot give you a fistful of dollars or naira to purchase your support.”

He accused Jonathan of incompetence, saying “Instead of resolving problems, this government multiplies and manufactures them.”

Jonathan is accused of fueling corruption in an administration that has confronted one multimillion-dollar scandal after another.

In his acceptance speech, Jonathan said Nigeria’s gross domestic product (GDP) has grown from US$35.9 billion when his party came to power in 1999 to US$510 billion today.
