Weeks After Inauguration, Tinubu Yet To Move Into Aso Villa Residence

Six weeks after taking over from former President Muhammadu Buhari, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is yet to relocate into his official house at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja.

While Tinubu has yet to move into his apartment, the President is holding important meetings in his private conference room, office space, and Aso Chambers.

According to reports, Tinubu’s arrival has been postponed due to ongoing renovations, which began in late April when former President Buhari abandoned the 32-year-old facility for a temporary residence known as the Glass House.

Although Buhari took nearly three weeks to settle into his new residence, Presidency insiders said the same could not be expected of the incoming Commander-in-Chief, who is moving in eight years after his predecessor.

The source stated, “These things are relative. It is not fixed at all. Goodluck Jonathan stayed for five years, and Buhari stayed for eight years. So, the level of repairs that needs to be done this time must have increased.

“There may be major alterations they are trying to do. For example, the Council Chamber we use today didn’t have all the technology it has now.

“There was a point during Baba’s (Buhari’s) tenure that it had to be shut down completely because they wanted to upgrade it. We were using the First Lady’s conference room for Federal Executive Council meetings at that time. And it took a long time to effect the changes.”

Another source said, “It’s also about individual choices, what you want in a place. But he (Tinubu) occupied the office as soon as he came in.”

On June 10, a security source revealed, “He (Tinubu) has not moved in because maintenance is still on.”
