Shouts of “Sai Baba, Sai Buhari” rent the air as Chief Justice of Nigeria, Mahmoud Mohammed administered the oath and declared the 72-year-old as Nigeria’s new leader.

With the whole world watching, Buhari gave a warm hug to his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan who will be heading to his hometown of Otuoke in Bayelsa state.
