The rise and fall and rise again of Muhammadu Buhari, one-time dictator turned democracy convert, was confirmed in front of world leaders and cheering crowds
He has been a military dictator, political prisoner and serial election loser. The rise and fall and rise again of Muhammadu Buhari was complete on Friday when he was sworn in as Nigerian president in front of cheering crowds and with a 21-gun salute.
Buhari made history when he became the first challenger to defeat a sitting leader in the west African country in a March election that was more peaceful than many had dared hope.
