A new dawn has just set for Nigeria as we welcome in a new administration and a new government of Muhammadu Buhari and Yemi Osibanjo. See Swearing-In photos after the cut...
Muhammadu Buhari - the first Nigerian to defeat a sitting president in popular elections. Buhari takes the oath of office at a ceremony in the capital, Abuja,
which will be attended by dozens of heads of state, French Foreign
Minister Laurent Fabius and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.
Buhari has a wealth of international goodwill. A phalanx of African
leaders are attending and will be looking to mend fences broken under
the discredited administration of Goodluck Jonathan.
On Thursday, Jonathan handed over a set of notes to the incoming
leader and showed him around the presidential villa in a display that
highlighted the peaceful nature of the power transfer.
