The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, has sworn in Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the 16th President of Nigeria.
His Excellency was declared President after completing the recitation of his oath of office conducted by the CJN while former President Muhammadu Buhari and his wife, Aisha Buhari, stood behind him.
Following the inauguration, President Tinubu hopped into the inauguration van and waved to all sides of the crowd at the iconic Eagle Square as thousands of Nigerians, delegates and diplomats from around the world present at the venue were seen applauding the historic moment.
Shortly after, the old defense flags of ex-President Buhari’s administration were brought down while those of President Bola Tinubu were raised up to signify the beginning of his new administration.
