Why President Buhari Has Not Moved Into Aso Rock

Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Buhari,
Shehu Garba has revealed why President Buhari is yet to move into his
official residence in Aso Villa days after he was sworn in as
President.

"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."he
said

Meanwhile there are reports that staff of Aso Villa, particularly
security officers, are currently in a state of confusion as to what
their job schedule will be like this week as President Buhari has not
appointed some key positions in his cabinet, one of which is the Chief
of Staff who plans his daily schedule. One of the workers in the
Presidency who spoke on condition of anonymity 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 time and venue. These would have
been easier for us if a Chief of Staff is in place. 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," he said.
