Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Tinubu, and the vice-president-elect, Kashim Shettima, have moved into the Defence House in Abuja ahead of their inauguration in May.
The director media and publicity
Tinubu/Shettima campaign, Bayo Onanuga, on Wednesday, tweeted that Tinubu and
Shettima have moved to the Defence House.
Tinubu returned to the country on Monday
after about a month abroad. He had travelled to Paris to rest after he was
declared the winner of the presidential election.
The former governor of Lagos polled 8,794,726
votes to defeat Atiku Abubakar, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), who had 6,984,520 votes, and Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), who
secured 6,101,533 votes to come third.
The Defence House, located in the Maitama
district of Abuja will serve as the residence until Tinubu and Shetima take the
oath of office on May 29 after which they will move to the Aso Rock villa.
Tinubu is expected to receive briefings and
hold key meetings at the residence.
The president-elect was accompanied to the
house by Senate President Ahmad Lawan, Abdullahi Adamu, national chairman of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Femi Gbajabiamila, speaker of the House of Representatives, among others.
