President Tinubu Yet To Move Into Villa Six Weeks After Inauguration by enemyofprogress: 6:37am On Jul 17, 2023
President yet to move into Villa six weeks after inauguration
Over six weeks after assuming office, President Bola Tinubu has yet to occupy his official residence at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja.

While the President has been actively using his private conference room, office space, and Aso Chambers for crucial meetings with local and international guests, his official residence east of the office remains unoccupied.

In the afternoon of May 29, hours after his inauguration, Tinubu arrived at the State Banquet Hall for lunch with fellow Heads of State and country representatives, who witnessed the ceremony at Eagles Square, Abuja.

However, it is normal to see the President’s convoy leaving the premises at the close of his work day, bypassing his official residence, exiting the Villa, and heading for his Maitama private mansion. The same applies to his daily resumption.

Sunday PUNCH learned that the reason could be the ongoing renovation that began in late April when former President Buhari vacated the 32-year-old structure for a temporary residence called the Glass House.

On May 6, 2023, weeks before Tinubu’s inauguration, maintenance work began around the Villa. It encompassed recoating worn-out portions with white paint, and a change of furniture in the green room of the Council Chamber, among others.

A spokesman for Buhari, Garba Shehu, had tweeted under a picture, “Painter at work. Villa wearing a new look for the incoming President.”

A senior source in the State House had told our correspondent that Tinubu, like his predecessors, was expected to decide what kind of furniture would be installed in his official residence.

Although Buhari moved into his new residence almost three weeks after his inauguration, Presidency sources confirmed the delay to our correspondent and said the same could not be expected of the new Commander-in-Chief, who is moving in eight years after a previous occupier.

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 confided in our correspondent, “He (Tinubu) has not moved in because maintenance is still on.”

Meanwhile, our correspondent also confirmed that the Aso Rock Chapel had been actively holding weekly meetings even though the First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has yet to worship there.

The First Lady had stated that the President had not appointed a chaplain for the Aso Villa Chapel after the exit of the former Chaplain, Seyi Malomo.

Mrs Tinubu, in a statement last Monday, said the President reserved the right to appoint a chaplain while debunking claims on social media platforms that the Aso Villa Chapel had been closed down.

She said, “Our attention has been drawn to a story on social media about the purported closure of the Aso Rock Chapel by the First Lady; we wish to state categorically that this is a fabrication and a false representation of the true situation.

“The First Lady at no time gave such a directive that the chapel be shut nor asked for the keys to be handed over to her.”

At the time of filing this report, the former chaplain could not be reached.

That is his own personal business. I have lost total confidence in this evil government since they introduced the criminal 8k palliative for poor Nigerians and budgeted 70bn for themselves for no good reason. I don't need a prophet to tell me that APC is a wicked party and they should be wining and dining with the devil.

A legally elected president is the property of the state hence must stay in the designated presidential abode except if on official assignment A man that got into government via the structure of corruption and criminality can not and will never give good performance in government.

He knows that office is not his legally and legitimately.

That is his own smart way of telling the world that he was not elected but selected by EYE NEK

Same scenario playing out in Enugu state where Peter Mbah is still living in his house at zoo estate

Buhari did same thing after Goodluck left the seat, so it's nothing new, just that I don't know why they're scared to move in immediately.

Maybe to perform some cleansing and ritual, if Peter Obi comes tomorrow, if he likes he should rush in immediately. There must be a good reason these strong men delays before moving in.

Tinubu knows he didn't win the election that's why we are seeing all these grin grin grin grin

Anyway, I will advice Nigerians as they go about their business, they should get ready for nation wide protest even bigger than endsars. I don't think Nigerians have an idea how low the country is sinking. Someone that CLEARLY didn't win the election, someone that didn't meet the MAIN requirements to be president is president. This is a new low! It has never happened before.

And some bastards especially from the betrayer tribe because of their hatred and jealousy for igbos want that to stand. Never!!!! tongue tongue

He is aware that his stay there will be short-lived. Mumuhadu, the INEC chairman, has embezzled funds.

Currently, he is making threats towards the judiciary, and the response from those associated with BATstards has been notably silent.

Consider what would happen if it were Obi who made threats of anarchy and chaos. The Department of State Services (DSS) would have likely showcased their efficiency by now.

Is it by force? Jakande lived in his personal house throughout his term as governor. Dapo Abiodun travels from his home in Ijebu to Abeokuta every day.


Some of these govt houses need serious spiritual cleansing before you move in. If you have your own house, it is probably better to stay in your house.
