Buhari takes Tinubu on tour of Aso Villa ahead of inauguration
President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday led President-elect Bola Tinubu on a familiarisation tour of the premises of the presidential villa, Abuja.
President-elect had earlier joined Buhari and other Muslim faithful to observe the two-raka’at Friday prayer at the Aso Rock mosque.
Messrs Buhari and Tinubu inspected some departments that are key to the workings of the presidency, starting with the Council Chamber and exited at the press gallery.
The State Chief of Protocol (SCOP), Ambassador Lawal Kazaure, explained the functions of the various departments visited during the inspection tour.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had led the Vice President-elect Kashim Shettima on similar familiarisation tour of vice president’s office and departments on Thursday.
