]]> Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s in Washington where he’ll become the first African leader to be received by President Donald Trump.

He’s being pressed by his continental peers to demand from his host a clear policy on Africa.

From the start of his presidency the US leader has trumpeted America first.

He met some African leaders on the sideline of the Davos conference in Switzerland this year.
