Aisha Buhari takes incoming first lady Tinubu on Presidential Villa tour
First lady Aisha Buhari on Tuesday took incoming first lady Oluremi Tinubu round some strategic areas of the official residence of the Presidential family in the Aso Rock Villa.
Mrs 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 meant for presidents during the transition.
During the tour, journalists were not allowed access to some parts of the building.
Mrs Buhari said, “The highly secured residential area of the president of the federal republic of Nigeria is strictly to serve as an accommodation for the president and members of the family.”
She also explained that the Glass House is a transit accommodation for outgoing presidents to pave the way for necessary renovations on the main house for the incoming president and his family.
Mrs Tinubu expressed appreciation to the first lady for the warm reception accorded her. She promised to work tirelessly for the benefit of all Nigerians.
President Muhammadu Buhari will hand over leadership to President-elect Bola Tinubu on May 29.
