First Lady takes Tinubu’s wife on tour of Presidential Villa

First Lady Aisha Buhari on Tuesday took incoming first lady, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, round some strategic areas of the official residence of the Presidential family in the Aso Rock Villa.

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 specifically meant for presidents during a transition period.

Newsmen were not allowed access to some parts of the building during the tour.

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 said.

She said that the glass house is a transit accommodation for outgoing presidents to pave way for necessary renovations on the main house for the incoming president and his family.

Responding, Tinubu expressed appreciation to the first lady for the warm reception accorded her.

Tinubu 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, in line with the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.
