Nigeria's president, Yar'Adua, recently died from heart complications. However, he had been having heart problems for several years previous to his death. Therefore, there had been another official acting as president, Goodluck Jonathan, since November.
This acting president was sworn into presidency after Yar'Adua's death.
MY REACTIONS: I think that it's sad that a president has died, but I also think that it is helpful to have Jonathan sworn in as president. Now, Nigeria's official president is actually the one who is functioning as president and has the power over the government.
