Bola Ahmed Tinubu Relocates to Defence House
A tweet by the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council on Thursday read: “The President-elect will be moving into Defence House, in Maitama, FCT, where he will spend the next couple of months, and from where he will move into the Presidential Villa.”
The notice came barely 24 hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission declared him ( Bola Ahmed Tinubu) as the winner of the February 25 presidential elections.
From the Defence House, Mr Bola Ahmed Tinubu will receive briefings and hold key meetings as President-elect. This is not a new development as the current President, Muhammadu Buhari also lodged at the same location months before his inauguration on May 29, in 2015.
After his inauguration he then moved into his official residence at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja. Tinubu won the election with 8,794,726, leading the Peoples Democratic Party’s Atiku Abubakar, who scored 6,984,520 votes, and Labour Party’s Peter Obi who polled 6,101,533. Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian Peoples Party garnered 1,496,687 votes to emerge fourth.
