Tinubu&#8217;s commitment lies in addressing these pressing issues and fostering progress for the nation.<\/p>\n<p>He won the elections with just 37 percent of the votes, which marked the lowest percentage of any elected Nigerian president since the transition from military to democratic rule in 1999.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-56735\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/fxtcph0wiaiypaf.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-56736\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/fxtcphvwwaal4ta.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-56737\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/fxtcphywwaaepcl.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-56738\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/fxtcphwwyayikij.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>{{Photos by Urugwiro Village}}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{President Paul Kagame has joined fellow Heads of State as well as other leaders from across the African Continent and beyond for the swearing-in ceremony of Nigeria\u2019s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Rwanda\u2019s Presidency has revealed.} <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":2000056734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-48183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":{"id":2000056734,"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/fxtcph0wiaiypaf.jpg","alt":"","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/fxtcph0wiaiypaf.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"medium":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/fxtcph0wiaiypaf.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"medium_large":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/fxtcph0wiaiypaf.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"large":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/fxtcph0wiaiypaf.jpg","width":1,"height":1},"full":{"url":"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/IMG\/logo\/fxtcph0wiaiypaf.jpg","width":0,"height":0}}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2000056734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48183"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=48183"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=48183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
