Former Abia State governor, Orji Kalu, says President Muhammadu Buhari will consolidate on the achievements of his first term.
In a statement on Wednesday, Kalu, who expressed appreciation to Nigerians for voting en masse for Buhari, added that the future was bright.
He said: “As Nigeria records another feat with the swearing in of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term in office, I am optimistic that this historic milestone will translate into a better life for Nigerians.
“I equally salute the returning and new governors, who are being sworn in today as chief executives of their states. The elections are over and it is time for serious governance.
“The political class must live up to expectations at all levels of government.
“Nigerians deserve a quality life and, as such, policies and programmes that will have meaningful impacts on the society must be formulated and executed. The time is now for politicians and other stakeholders to work harmoniously to build a decent society.
“Let us forget our political, ethnic and religious differences for the sake of nation building.”
