President
Muhammadu Buhari is yet to return to his office inside the Presidential Villa,
Abuja almost two months after his return from United Kingdom on medical
vacation. However, the presidency said the situation has not in any way
hindered the President from performing his duties.
After
spending over 100 days abroad, Buhari arrived the country in August 19 to wild
jubilation by some Nigerians and has since been operating from an office
located inside his official residence and another one located inside the
Presidential Banquet Hall, according to a source.
Recall
that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity,
Garba Shebu had said the President’s Office needed renovation because of its
devastation by rodents during his long period of absence. “Following the
three-month period of disuse, rodents have caused a lot of damage to the
furniture and the air conditioning units” he said.
He
added that it was impossible for the President to operate from the Office in
that condition. Although he said he could not tell when the renovation would be
completed, Shehu had stated that the maintenance company had been asked to
speedy up its pace of work.
However,
58 days after the President’s return to the country, he has yet to resume in
his Office.
