President Tinubu Moves Into Aso Rock Two Months After Inauguration
After being inaugurated on May 29, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has finally moved into the presidential residence in Aso Rock in Abuja.
TrackNews reports that the official residence has been under renovation since April which led to the president operating from his private residence in Asokoro since his inauguration.
Recall that before President Muhammadu Buhari left office, he and his family moved to the Glass House, usually a transit accommodation, following the renovation of the main residence.
But according to TheCable, President Tinubu moved to the Glass House on Sunday night pending the completion of the renovation of the president’s official residence in August.
A presidency official told the news platform that Tinubu moved into the Villa because of public complaints over the traffic congestion as a result of road closures and restrictions.
The source said: “He finally moved on Sunday night because of public complaints over the traffic congestion around his movements.
“He too was unhappy with the discomfort to the public but the official residence is still not ready, so he decided to move to the Glass House.”
