PRESIDENT ELECT PROMISES TO SPARE NO EFFORT IN ELIMINATING BOKO HARAM
The 72-year-old general, who first came to power three decades ago via a military coup and campaigned as a born-again democrat, has promised to tackle the nagging problem of insurgency in the nation. A day after becoming the first politician in Nigerian history to succeed a sitting leader by ballot, president-elect Muhammadu Buhari promised on Wednesday to "spare no effort" to defeat Islamist militant group Boko Haram.
Despite the killing of more than a dozen voters by Boko Haram gunmen - who had pledged to derail the poll - the election was one of the most orderly in Nigeria's polls.
Cities in the largely Muslim north, where Buhari's core support base lies, erupted in celebration.They also looked forward to his timely intervention in nagging dilemma.
He thanked President Jonathan for peacefully relinquishing power and promised to continue from where he stopped.
