Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President
Buhari, Shehu Garba has assumed his office after his official appointment yesterday.
He said that ongoing cleaning and refurbishment has prevented President Buhari
to move into his official residence in Aso villa 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.
