It would be recalled that Buhari, 72, received 15.42 million votes against President Jonathan during the general election held on March 28-29. Goodluck Jonathan secured 12.85 million votes.

Buhari first seized power of Nigeria in a military coup, and was in charge from 1983 to 1985. He was elected of the platform of the All Progressives Congress after three unsuccessful attempts to return to the top post in the past (2011, 2007 and 2003).

Jonathan, 57, of the Peoples Democratic Party, became the acting president in 2010, won the 2011 election, but failed to secure a win in 2015.

The so called fresh air GEJ promised Nigerians in 2011, he gave us the opposite. Anyway, Congratulations Nigerians... Today henceforth marks the beginning of a new dawn in our great country Nigeria!! Fresh air go de nyafu-nyafu by the grace of God, we shall get to the promise Land via "Change Train"

I hate Buhari

I am trying to wonder what songs P-square and Iyanya will perform.

May this inauguration bring light, so the darkness that has shrouded this Nation will give way. Long live Nigeria.

People when we celebrating gmb let try to give gej a small salute(we all know gej is a failure to this country) because if he hadn't agree to the outcome of the election(even though it may be or may not be in good faith he conceded defeat) nigeria would have been in a great chaos by now.

So people if you can reason well you we know the trouble and big problem gej(GOD) help to avert away from this country called nigeria.
