Here in Nigeria, every 29th of May is a public holiday because it's democracy day. All schools will be closed and some work places won't function today, most especially government offices. On this day we celebrate our democracy as a country and we all are happy.

And when it tallies with when new leaders are freshly elected into position, they are usually sworn-in and inaugurated on this same day to further celebrate the democracy day. So today, the president, Mr Muhammad Buhari was sworn-in today as the President of Nigeria after re-running and winning the election which makes it his second term in office. Governors of different states were also inaugurated today.

I wish us all a happy democracy day!
