PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni was yesterday among the heads of state to attend the swearing-in of Nigerian leader Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja.
Jonathan, from the ruling People’s Democratic Party, won the April presidential elections, beating his closest rival and former military ruler, Muhammadu Buhari, of the Congress for Progressive Change.
According to a State House statement, Museveni was accompanied by his wife, Mrs Janet Museveni.
This will be Jonathan’s first full term as President. He assumed presidency in May 2010 following the death of President Umaru Yar’Adua.
Jonathan, 53, holds a degree in zoology. He worked as an environmental officer before joining politics. He was also the deputy governor for Bayelsa state.
In 2006, the state governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, was incriminated for corruption and Jonathan was promoted to governor.
