After 10 days in London on a campaign break, the presidential candidate of the All progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari will  return to Nigeria on Friday.

Buhari travelled to UK to rest and consult with his supporters in that country after the Independent National Election Commission (INEC) postponed the elections, which were initially scheduled for February 14.

A high point of Buhari’s UK visit was the lecture he delivered at Chatham House. Buhari’s visit has generated a lot of controversy with many speculating that he travelled on health grounds. The APC is undecided  on what form Buhari’s return might take on Friday.

Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has mocked APC for describing the appearance of its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari last Thursday, at the Chatham House in London, as successful. According to him, the reverse was the case as the outing was a “monumental failure”.

The statement reads: “The whole sorry episode has now fully exposed the APC as a party built on propaganda, deceit, make-believe and one which lacks respect for the people of Nigeria. A few days ago, we promised to go into further detail on the Chatham House episode at a later stage and we have decided to do that today. Here are the facts.

APC has condemned, in the strongest possible terms, the needless resort to sheer hysteria by the PDP and the Jonathan Administration over the globally-acclaimed appearance of the APC’s Presidential Candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, at the Chatham House in London on Thursday.

In a statement issued in London on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said even when it was so apparent that the PDP and the Jonathan Administration were so stunned and stung by Gen. Buhari’s well-accepted presentation,? ?they could have saved themselves from further disgrace by simply keeping quiet, instead of exposing their inanities.

”For the spokesmen of the PDP and the Jonathan Campaign organizations to have rushed to the press to denounce what was a patriotic presentation by a high-regarded Nigerian is not only absurd but a new low, even for those who have lost every sense of propriety in their public actions and pronouncements,” it said.

PDP said it has noted the theatrical appearance of the presidential candidate of the APC, Muhammadu Buhari, in what it called a “well-produced orchestra earlier at the Chatham House, London.

The PDP said the event was “a script well written, a script well-acted, all a truthful lie; the messenger belies the message.”

In a statement by its spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, the party said the stage was targeted to secure a desperately needed endorsement from the international community. “But the world is hardly fooled by theatrics of desperation. APC is chasing shadows,” Mr. Metuh said.

Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, has said that Sharia law is limited to inheritance and marriage. He siad, “Sharia is limited to inheritance, marriage etc. If anyone wants to change sharia they have to change the constitution: #Buhari at #CHAfrica”

The former Head of State who declared himself fit and healthy to lead the country if elected, also said that he takes full responsibility for whatever happened under his watch as a military dictator in Nigeria between 1983 to 1985. This was part of his address at the Chatham House, London during his speech on Prospects for Democratic Consolidation in Africa: Nigeria’s Transition.

Many electorates have expressed fear that Buhari, if elected, might implement full sharia law in all the states in Nigeria, especially, following media reports in 2001, that he will not stop the agitation for total implementation of the sharia in the country.

“This is the sacrifice the Moslems will have to make and persuade their fellow country men who are non-Moslems to accept. I will continue to show openly and inside me, the total commitment to Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria, God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country,” he said in 2001 at National Convention of the Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria (SCSN), held at the Arewa House, Kaduna.
