Nigeria's main opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari on Friday told AFP he was expecting to win next week's presidential election by a wide margin, despite talk of a close race. The February 14 poll, in which he is challenging incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, has been seen as too close to call, leading to a possible run-off if neither man secures a first-round majority.

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, as he turns 74 today.

Buhari, in a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, believed that the revered Christian leader, who visited him at the Presidential Villa on February 16 and whom he had interacted with many times before, epitomises the virtues of honesty, peace, patience, contentment, humility and diligence, which are the trademarks of a good believer.

As a Christian leader, the President praised the relentless efforts, sacrifices and the grace of God upon the life of the General Overseer, who has over the years propagated the gospel around the world, organised large gathering of worshippers and consistently counselled leaders and their citizens on living right before God.

Buhari saluted the social and humanitarian interventions of the RCCG leader in providing health and educational services to complement government’s efforts.

The President prayed that God will grant Adeboye long life and more strength to carry on the good work.
