Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
**The reasoning** This is a **current affairs** question testing your knowledge of Nigeria's leadership as of 2024. Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in as Nigeria's President on May 29, 2023, after winning the February 2023 presidential election under the All Progressives Congress (APC). He succeeded Muhammadu Buhari, whose two terms (2015–2023) had ended. When answering "current" or "as of [year]" questions, always confirm the **most recent officeholder** at that specific time. **Why the wrong options tempt you** - **Option A (Buhari)**: He was President immediately before 2024 (2015–2023), so if you're not updated on the 2023 transition, you'd pick this. - **Options B & D (Jonathan & Obasanjo)**: Former presidents from earlier eras (Jonathan: 2010–2015; Obasanjo: 1999–2007). These test if you confuse past leaders with the present. **Quick takeaway** For "current" questions, **recency is everything** — always know the latest transition date; Tinubu took office May 29, 2023, making him Nigeria's leader throughout 2024.
