SAN FRANCISCO, February 19, (THEWILL) – The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari Thursday left Abuja on a short working visit to the United Kingdom.

In the course of this visit, General Buhari is expected to hold meetings with key members of the British political establishment and interact with some global institutions with stakeholder interest in the affairs of Nigeria, the APC presidential campaign organization said in an emailed statement Thursday.

“General Buhari would hopefully give a talk at the prestigious foreign policy hub, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatam House in London,” the statement added.

Buhari, who ruled Nigeria as military head of state from 31 December 1983 – 27 August 1985, is running neck-to-neck with incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the March 28, 2015 president ballot.

However, THEWILL analysts predict a 65%-35% victory for Buhari in the election if the status quo remains unchanged.
