President Muhammadu Buhari takes President-Elect Bola Tinubu on a Tour of the Presidential Villa and attend Juma’at Prayers in State House on 26th May 2023.
The formal handover ceremonies started Thursday with the investiture of the President-elect and the Vice president-elect with the highest national honours and the presentation of the handover documents to the incoming president.
Recall that the President-elect AsÃwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, joined President Muhammadu Buhari for the Juma’at prayers at the State House Mosque, Abuja Friday afternoon, as part of nationwide special prayers marking the inauguration of the incoming administration.
Muslim prayers and interdenominational Christian service were scheduled for Friday and Sunday, respectively.
While the two events were billed to hold at the National Mosque and the National Ecumenical Centre in Abuja, similar prayer sessions were planned all over the country.
The events will climax on Monday, May 29 when the former Lagos governor takes the oath of office as the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
At the well-attended prayer session at the National Mosque, President-elect Tinubu was represented by Vice President-elect, Senator Shettima.
Speaking after observing the prayers at the State House, President-elect Tinubu said he had come to join President Buhari to offer prayers to Almighty Allah to support him to carry out the task of governance successfully.
