Two days after President Buhari was sworn in a the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mr president and His Vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo are yet to move into the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock.
This was made know by the Senior
Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Shehu Garba.
According to Him, He said:
"As far as the
President is concerned, the place (His official residence) is not ready yet. Workers
are cleaning and refurbishing the place. Once the exercise is completed, the
President will move in".
After He was asked to be specific
on how soon will the President move in, He replied that, he believed it would
not take time.
Rumor have it that, the
Presidential Villa personnel in Abuja, are not sure of what will be their Job
schedule this week, due to the fact that the president is yet to appoint some
key positions in his cabinet, most especially the role of the chief of staff
whose responsibility is to arrange the President's daily schedules.
Shehu said:
"As we are talking
now, we do not know his (The President's) activities for tomorrow (Today). We cannot
plan for his activities. We do not know which groups he will be meeting or how
many people he will be meeting.
It is when we have an
idea of those who he will be meeting that we can schedule them regarding
allocation of the time and venue. These would have been easier for us if a
chief of staff is in place".
He also said because they were
not properly informed about itinerary of the inauguration gala night that was held
inside the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa on Friday nearly flopped
as people kept trooping in.
On a final Note, he also said:
"For now, we are
waiting for the two big men (President and Vice President) to move into the
villa so that we can do our jobs. For now, we are only securing the seat of
power without the men of power."
