ABUJA, Nigeria, May 29 (UPI) -- Mohammadu Buhari, ousted 31 years ago in a military coup, was sworn in Friday as Nigeria's elected president.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry led the U.S. delegation to the inauguration in Abuja, the capital, in a show of willingness to strengthen a relationship between the two countries strained by the five-year administration of outgoing president Goodluck Jonathan. Buhari, a retired general, won the March 28 election against Jonathan.
