Since his victory, the pressure on Buhari and his ruling party, the All Progressives' Congress APC , to deliver on campaign promises has been immense. Growing demands for political accountability, enabled by a vibrant media culture, have led to unprecedented scrutiny over every appointment, every speech and every decision by the new government.

Buhari's trips to West African neighbours, the G7 in Germany, the African Union summit in South Africa and the United States on invitation from president Obama aimed to restore confidence in Nigeria's leadership of the multinational joint task force, to secure support for the war against Boko Haram, and to restore Nigeria's ties with allies which had frayed under his predecessor.

This could enable Nigeria ease out of expensive fuel subsidies when a cabinet is finally appointed in the next few weeks.
