The duo succeeded President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice Professor Yemi Osinbajo, while 28 states, 18 of them newly elected, also changed batons as new Governors and deputy governors were sworn in.

The inauguration events which featured other programmes like inauguration lectures, dinners and thanksgiving services were climaxed with the swearing in ceremony administered by the Chief Justice of the Federation Olukayode Ariwoola.
