Outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari has declared that Nigerians were in safe and capable hands under the administration of his incoming successor, President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Buhari gave the assurance on Thursday in Abuja during the investiture of Tinubu as Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR), the country’s highest national honor, and the Vice-President elect, Kashim Shettima as Grand Commander of the Order of Niger (GCON), the second national honour.

Buhari also declared that he has ran a good race and finished the fight and it was now time for him to pass the leadership baton.

The President, thereafter, handed over Transition Documents to the incoming President at the ceremony held at the State House Conference Center, Abuja.

He urged Tinubu not to forget that leadership comes with enormous responsibility.

On his part, the President-elect noted that he understands the honour given to him and his Vice-President elect and the magnitude of the task ahead.
