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

In his post inauguration speech,  Bazoum narrated how his predecessor, Issoufou, spearheaded the formation of their party. 

He also extolled the  good leadership qualities of  Issoufou, which according to him, recorded myriad of tangible, invaluable developments in Niger Republic.

Mohamed Bazoum also promised to fight corruption head-on, without fear or favor and collaborate with the Nigerian authorities to deal with insecurity, especially the menace of Boko Haram.
