“The epoch-making handing over ceremony from the outgoing President , Mahamadou Issoufou, who served for two year terms, of five years, to Bazoum, was attended by the leaders of many African countries and foreign envoys, from different parts of the world, including its closest neighbour, Nigeria.

Before the swearing in and inauguration of the new Government, Issoufou handed over the Sword Of Office and decorated his successor, Bazoum with the highest Honor of Niger Republic, amidst loud ovation from the tumultuous crowd.

The attendees came from within and outside the country to witness the first successful civilian to civilian transition /handing over of power.
