Reports on the arrival of foreign guests and other dignitaries in Abuja, the country’s capital, for the inauguration of Bola Tinubu as the president dominated the cover pages of Nigerian newspapers.

The Punch reports that foreigners and other dignitaries have started arriving at the federal capital territory (FCT) for the inauguration of Bola Tinubu, president-elect. The newspaper says Tunde Bakare, the overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, said he will never address Tinubu as his president.

The Nation reports that Tinubu has pledged to dedicate himself to the service of the nation and Africa. The newspaper says President Muhammadu Buhari said he is leaving Nigeria better than he met it in 2015.

Daily Trust reports that the senate has amended the Central Bank of Nigeria Act to increase the borrowing limit of the federal government. The newspaper says outgoing governors are in a rush to commission uncompleted projects ahead of Monday’s inauguration.

Daily Independent reports that stakeholders have criticised the decision of the presidential election petition tribunal to reject the request for the live broadcast of its proceedings. The newspaper says Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he will score the administration of Buhari 5 percent in the management of the country.
