General Buhari The Tennis Star (Throwback Photo Of The President-Elect)

Here is an interesting throwback picture of  Nigeria's newly elected  President General Muhammadu Buhari taken in Makurdi in the early 70s when he was an army officer. Some other VIPS are also in the picture. Find out who they are after the cut

 Also in the picture are Plateau state governor Jonah Jang (standing 2nd from left) and then Air Force  Dr Michael Obafunsho Peters of Lagos State (standing 3rd from right ).

The foreigners are mostly civil servants, the other Nigerians are mostly Army and Air Force officers

President-elect Buhari was looking quite stylish next to a pretty blonde Caucasian in his white tennis wear and dark sunglasses.

Photograph was kindly provided by Dr Peters. But one wonders if General Buhari still plays tennis today or if he has taken to golf like his friend .
