President Goodluck Jonathan has relocated from his main
official residence at the Presidential Villa to another section of the vast
complex, in preparation of his exit from office in less than two weeks.
According to TheNation, GEJ and his family moved to the
Glass House to allow for the renovation of the main official residence of the
president for its next occupant, General Muhammadu Buhari. The President and
his wife have also moved their personal belongings out of the official residence
to their Otuoke,Bayelsa State residence. The movement of their belongings
commenced soon after the release of the result of the March 28 presidential
election. Continue..
“ I can confirm to you that most of the first family’s
property have left the State House. The President is now staying in the Glass
House with very few belongings. Intensive
renovation of the President’s residence is going on now.
Minor repairs are going on in some parts of the house. Cleaning and repainting
of the entire residence with white paint is in progress.”
The furnishing aspect of the renovation will wait until the
incoming president takes over. He will be the one to determine the kind of
furniture he wants. The source applies to the flowers around the residence.
Renovation of the President’s office, according to another
source, will also wait until Buhari assumes office. The colour of the painting
and furniture for the office will be done to his taste.
Another source said:
”The State House staff are in high spirit, waiting and
hoping that the promised change of the incoming government will benefit them
and the nation at large.”
President Jonathan is scheduled to conduct Buhari and Vice
President-electYemi Osinbajo round the complex on Thursday, May 27.
The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati
was not in the office yesterday afternoon and could not be reached on telephone
to get his views on the latest development .
