PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari and his family have moved into the Glass House at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The move is in readiness for the inauguration of the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
First Lady, Aisha Buhari, made this known in a video she shared on her official Instagram page after taking the incoming First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu around the State House.
During the tour of the Villa, Aisha Buhari introduced Senator Tinubu to the various areas of the house, providing detailed explanations regarding the history and importance of each edifice.
The First Lady said that the Glass House has served as a transitional abode for the outgoing president and their spouse during the transition period.
It provides a symbolic and literal space for the outgoing president, leaving room for the incoming president to fully take charge.
Aisha Buhari urged succeeding governments to maintain the practice of having the outgoing president and his spouse to reside in the glass house till transitions are over.
“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, Senator Tinubu said: “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,” the in-coming First Lady said.
