Do not disturb: Renovation ongoing at Aso Rock

Villa renovation 22The Presidency on Thursday released pictures of what it says is ongoing renovation work at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to move into the Villa almost two weeks after he was sworn in on May 29.

He is presently taking residence at the Defence House also in Abuja.

Critics had accused him of refusing to move into Aso Rock, claiming he was acting on purported advice from Senegalese spiritualists.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, had earlier expressed “utter embarrassment at such suggestion,” saying that President Buhari is a practising Muslim who believes his fate belongs to God.

He said the so-called “spiritual cleansing of Aso Rock Villa by Senegalese marabouts before President Buhari moves into the villa” was the figment of the imagination of rumour mongers.
