The winner of Nigeria’s presidential election in March, Muhammadu Buhari, has been sworn in as leader of Africa’s most populous country.
Mr Buhari is the first opposition figure to win a presidential election in Nigeria since independence in 1960.
“I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody”, he told cheering crowds at the inauguration in the capital, Abuja.
He vowed to tackle “head on” the issues of corruption and the insurgency from militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
Mr Buhari, a former military ruler, has taken over from Goodluck Jonathan, who had been in office since 2010.
