The Eagle Square, Central Business District, Abuja, Nigeria, is set to host the inauguration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the 16th President of Nigeria.
Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima will also take his oath of office at the same venue.
EDITOR’S PICKS
Tinubu, 71, takes office, two months after being declared winner of the keenly contested February 25 presidential election.
With 8,794,726 votes, Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) beat his closest rival, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who polled 6,984,520 votes, while Labour Party (LP) candidate Peter Obi, 61, came in third with 6,101,533 ballots.
Tinubu is the fifth democratically elected Nigerian President in the fourth Republic.
His predecessors are Muhammadu Buhari (2015-2023), Goodluck Jonathan (2010-2015), Umaru Musa Yar’Adua (2007-2010), and Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007).
