The highly secured residential area of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is strictly to serve as an accomodation for the President and members of the family.
Nigeria’s 1st Lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari stated this on Tuesday while taking the incoming first lady, Senator (Mrs) Oluremi Tinubu round some strategic areas of the official residence of the Presidential family in the Aso Rock Villa.
Buhari who received Tinubu, explained that the glass House in the Villa is a transitional home of the first family.
She said the glass house is specifically meant for presidents during a transition period.
However, newsmen were not allowed access to some parts of the building during the tour.
Buhari said: ”The highly secured residential area of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is strictly to serve as an accomodation for the President and members of the family.”
She said that the glass house is a transit accomodation for outgoing presidents to pave way for necessary renovations on the main house for the incoming president and his family.
Responding, Tinubu expressed appreciation to the first lady for the warm reception accorded her, even as she promised to work tirelessly for the benefit of all Nigerians.
