Former Lagos State Governor Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in as Nigeria’s 16th President on Monday May 29, 2023.
The oath of office was administered by the Chief of Nigeria, CJN Olukayode Ariwoola at the ongoing inauguration ceremony at Eagles Square, Abuja.
Recall that Tinubu emerged Nigeria’s President-elect on the platform of the ruling APC following the outcome of February 25 presidential election after polling highest votes cast to defeat his closest rivals; former Vice President and candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party’s candidate, Peter Obi.
Following his oath of office, Tinubu has become the new President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria succeeding the two terms of eight years by former President Muhammadu Buhari.
