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.
