Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State, was greeted with cheers and applause as he arrived with his wife, Oluremi Tinubu around 9:47 am.
Tinubu’s inauguration as the 16th President of Nigeria is a historic moment for the country’s democracy, as it marks the 7th consecutive peaceful transfer of power since 1999.
The event is being attended by over 20 heads of state and government from across the world, especially Africa, who have come to witness Tinubu’s swearing-in as Nigeria’s new leader.
