Since 1999, there have been successful transitions of democratic power from one administration to another, and successful switch of political parties in the states and at the federal level.
Following same, all is set for the inauguration of former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu as Nigeria’s President for the next four years in Eagle Square today.
Bola Tinubu is becoming the seventh democratically elected president of Nigeria after 16 years of serving Lagos state as the governor.
There is heavy security at the venue for the remarkable event where Tinubu, 71, will be sworn in as Nigeria’s next leader after Buhari’s eight-year administration.
Scores of operatives of the joint security team comprising the Department of State Services, the Nigeria Police Force, the Nigerian Army and other paramilitary agencies were seen at the venue on Sunday evening. Fully armed, law enforcement agents were seen with different breeds of sniffer dogs in preparation for the main moment.
The event is expected to commence at 10am.
Dignitaries and stakeholders from different countries are already in the country for the historic moment.
