The world focuses on Nigeria as #Buhari takes over

Nigeria will be in world focus today as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen Muhammadu Buhari takes oath of office as the fourth President.
With the development, Gen Buhari becomes the first President to lead Nigeria from an opposition party since 1960 when the nation got her independence from Britain.
Some of the activities lined up for the inauguration include Juma’at service, an inter-denominational church service, dinner, the swearing-in proper, lunch and gala night.
President-elect Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, yesterday toured the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari and Osinbajo were taken on the tour by outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo.
Expectedly, the world has literally relocated to Nigeria as many leaders from various countries in Africa and beyond converged on Abuja, the federal capital for the epoch-making event.
At Press time, the United States Secretary of State, Mr John Kerry, was.....
expected in Abuja with a high-powered delegation earlier announced by President Barack Obama.

Kerry, who visited Nigeria ahead of the election where he met with the US delegation, was billed to arrive at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the afternoon.
Recently, Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK met with Buhari and discussed the challenges facing Nigeria.
The leaders discussed security and the fight against terrorism, particularly the threat posed by Boko Haram. They discussed the need for a regional approach and agreed to continue working together to build the capacity of the Nigerian Army, with the UK continuing to provide military training and intelligence support.
On tackling corruption, they agreed it was a priority to ensure Nigeria’s prosperity and success. They also discussed the need to tackle organised crimes and the links between Britain and Nigeria.
They equally talked about the challenges posed by migration from Africa to Europe. Buhari said he would do all he could to secure Nigeria’s borders. Cameron agreed to look at what technical assistance and support the UK could provide to the Nigerian government while pursuing its reforms.
