Nigeria's president-elect Muhammadu Buhari, who got a stunning victory in the March elections, is being officially inaugurated on Friday at Eagle's Square in Abuja.
The 72-year-old, who calls himself a 'converted democrat', will officially take over as the Nigerian President three decades after he last held power in a military coup.
Ever since Nigeria moved to democracy in 1999, Buhari had failed at three consecutive attempts to win the elections.
