Buhari Moves Out Of Official Presidential Villa Ahead of Tinubu’s Inauguration
President Muhammadu Buhari has moved out of his official residence at the Presidential Villa and relocated to the Glass House.
News Week Nigeria reports that this was done ahead of the inauguration of the President-elect Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The Glass House has served as a transitional abode for the outgoing president and their spouse during the handover period.
The Glass House has also traditionally played a crucial role in the transition of power, providing a symbolic and practical space for the outgoing president and their spouse.
The relocation of the President was made known by the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, in a video on her Instagram page after showing the incoming First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu around the State House.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration had expressed its commitment to ensuring a smooth transition process and peaceful handover of power on Monday, May 29, to Tinubu.
A Presidential Transition Council was set up to this effect, with the Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, the Chairman.
