Where EXACTLY does he stand on free education, is he going to implement it? To what extent? 3) Justice: Being an avowed anti-corruption crusader, i) what will be his attitude toward the Judiciary? ii) Where the wheels of justice grind slow, what will be his attitude towards dubiously handled corruption cases? iii) How will he react should he perceive the Judiciary as being obstacles to his anti-corruption efforts? iv) Will he be prepared to pen and push legislation to invoke the death penalty for corruption in Nigeria? 4) Foreign Policy: Will he continue Nigerias role as foremost peacekeeping nation? How EXACTLY would a Buhari have reacted to the inter-religious crisis in CAR?
