PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari and his family have moved into the Glass House at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, ahead of President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s inauguration.
The First Lady, Aisha Buhari, revealed this in a video posted on her official Instagram page after showing the incoming First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, around the State House.
The first lady guided Senator Tinubu through the many areas of the Villa, giving thorough explanations about the history and significance of each structure.
The Glass House, according to the First Lady, has acted as a transitory residence for the outgoing president and their spouse throughout the transition phase.
It creates a symbolic and literal space for the outgoing president, allowing the incoming president to completely assume power.
While announcing that she and her husband had moved into the historic property, Aisha Buhari urged successive governments to continue the practice of relocating the outgoing president and his spouse to the glass house until transitions are completed.
“I have taken the incoming First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, around. She has seen the main house; we are now at the popular glass house. Glass house is a transitional home for the outgoing president.
“I’m advising that the Glass House should maintain its tradition of being a transition for the outgoing president. As I am talking to you now, I am residing here with my husband. Only two of us here, I think it should remain so as a norm of the institution and of the house,” Aisha explained.
In her reaction having completed the tour, Senator Tinubu was appreciative of the opportunity availed her and the magnanimity of her host the president’s wife.
“I have gone around. She has magnanimously shown me around the house. And graciously explained a lot of things to me which is quite a short time and overwhelming for me to grasp.
“But, I believe God will help me to be able to make an impactful contribution to the nation,” Remi Tinubu stated.
She stated further that she believes God Almighty would help her make positive impacts and build upon the legacy of Aisha Buhari.
