Nigeria’s President-elect Bola Tinubu and Vice-President-elect Kashim Shettima, on Wednesday, moved to the Defence House ahead of their inauguration on May 29.
The Defence House will serve as the official operational base of the president-elect till May 29, when he will be inaugurated as the country’s 16th democratically elected president.
Tinubu was accompanied by Senate President Ahmad Lawan; Abdullahi Adamu, the APC national chairman; speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; and Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege, among others.
From the Defence House, Mr Tinubu will receive briefings and hold key meetings as president-elect when he eventually moves into it.
This is not a new development as incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari also lodged at the same facility months before his inauguration on May 29, 2015, before he moved into his official residence at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
