The First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari, on Tuesday took incoming first lady, Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu around 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.
Our Correspondent reports that Journalists were however 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 explained.
She said that the glass house is a transit accommodation for outgoing Presidents, to pave the 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 and promised to work tirelessly for the benefit of all Nigerians.
President Muhammadu Buhari will hand over leadership to President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu on May 29, in line with the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.
