Nigeria's Bola Tinubu is sworn in as president after a disputed election. He faces a divided nation, economic woes and rising insecurity.
The ceremony took place amid tight security at the 5,000-capacity Eagle Square venue in the capital, Abuja. A national public holiday was declared and Nigerians without an invitation told to stay away from the ceremony. Opposition parties had disputed the results, and there were fears of unrest. In his inaugural speech, Tinubu told Nigerians his swearing-in was a “sublime moment.” “We have endured hardships that would have made other societies crumble.
This is needed to reduce Nigeria’s unsustainable debt burden,” said Remi Adekoya, a political analyst and associate lecturer at the UK’s York University. Adekoya said Tinubu is “very pro-business,” which should attract much-needed foreign direct investment. “Foreign investors would see him as a welcome change from the business-sceptic former President Buhari. This could work in Nigeria’s favor,” he said.
