Why President Buhari has not move into Aso rock since his swearing in

Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to
President Buhari, Shehu Garba says ongoing
cleaning and refurbishment has prevented
President Buhari to move into his official
residence in Asovilla 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 Asovilla,
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.
