Nigeria’s incoming President Muhammadu Buhari said the nation has voted for change in an election that marks the first peaceful shift in power since the end of colonial rule in 1960.
“You voted for change and now change has come,” Buhari, 72, said in his first speech on Wednesday since winning the March 28-29 presidential election with 52.4 percent of the votes cast. He defeated incumbent Goodluck Jonathan, who received 43.7 percent support.
