Buhari moves to Defence House
relocated to the Defence House in the Maitama area
of Abuja metropolis where he now operates
temporarily.
Buhari, who returned to Abuja from Kaduna on
Monday to hold talks with Ivorian President Alassane
Quattara at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport,
has been receiving guests at the Defence House since
Tuesday.
He spent the better part of Tuesday and Wednesday
receiving guests at the Defence House located
opposite the Legacy House which serves as the
campaign headquarters of the Peoples Democratic
Party.
When The Nation visited the place, a horde of
security operatives were seen on guard while visitors
were properly screened before being allowed into
the premises.
It was also observed that the building was wearing a
new look, a clear indication that it was only recently
renovated.
Buhari, who was declared winner of the 2015
presidential election, was operating from his private
residence in the Asokoro area of Abuja before
leaving the FCT for Daura where he took part in the
Governorship and House of Assembly elections.
He spent an extra one week in Daura receiving
guests, both local and foreign before leaving for
Kaduna where he received another set of guests
including former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
On Tuesday, the President elect played host to the
ECOWAS chairman and President of Ghana, John
Mahama at the Defence House before leaving for his
campaign headquarters where he received a
delegation from Kogi and Kwara States.
The Spokesman of the All Progressive Congress
Presidential Campaign Council, Mallam Garba Shehu,
told The Nation that the Defence House has been
made available to the President elect for his official
engagements.
"Yes, the Defence House was handed over a few days
ago after its renovation," Shehu said in a text
message when asked if the Defence House is now the
operational base of the President elect.
