It's official, Muhammad Buhari, 72 is now the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He has just been sworn-in by the Chief Justice of the country, Justice Mahmud Mohammed.

Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan would now be referred to as former a President. President Buhari was sworn-in alongside the new Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo who took the oath of office moments before the new president.

President Buhari returns to the highest office in the land 30 years after he was overthrown by the military junta of General Ibrahim Babangida after spending twenty months in office.

He was a former Governor‎ of North-East Nigeria which is today's Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba and Yobe making him the third ex state Executive after Late Umar Musa Yar'Adua and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to become President of Nigeria.

He was also a minister of Petroleum resources during the military regime of Olusegun Obasanjo in 1976.

At 72, President Muhammadu Buhari is the oldest President ‎to have ruled Nigeria. 

‎Coming under the mantra of Change, the Nigeria atmosphere is charged and expectant of a drastic change in fortune. The new administration, full of old-horse opposition party loyalists,  has less than four years to prove its mantle because the next general elections would be judged on performance and general perceptions of the holders of "Office Of The Citizen " rather than a change mantra
