Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan took the oath of office on Sunday following elections judged as the country's fairest to date though marred by deadly post-poll riots. Jonathan, 53, was sworn in amid tight security at a colourful ceremony witnessed by more than two dozen heads of state in the capital of Africa's most populous country. In an oath administered by chief justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu, Jonathan sporting a fedora hat swore to be "faithful and bear true allegiance" to Nigeria and "discharge my duties to the best of my abilities."
