Presidential spokesperson speaks on why Pres. Buhari hasn't moved into Aso Rock days after swearing in

Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President
Buhari, Shehu Garba says ongoing cleaning and refurbishment
has prevented President Buhari to move into his official
residence in Asovilla days after he was sworn in as President.
"As far as the President is concerned, the place (his official
residence) is not ready yet. Workers are cleaning and
refurbishing the place. Once the exercise is completed, the
President will move in.”he said
Meanwhile there are reports that staff of Asovilla, particularly
security officers, are currently in a state of confusion as to
what their job schedule will be like this week as President
Buhari has not appointed some key positions in his cabinet,
one of which is the Chief of Staff who plans his daily
schedule. One of the workers in the Presidency who spoke on
condition of anonymity said "As we are talking now, we do
not know his (the President’s) activities for tomorrow (today).
We cannot plan for his activities. We do not know which
groups he will be meeting or how many people he will be
meeting.
It is when we have an idea of those who he will be meeting
that we can schedule them regarding allocation of time and
venue. These would have been easier for us if a Chief of Staff
is in place. For now, we are waiting for the two big men
(President and Vice President) to move into the Villa so that
we can do our jobs. For now, we are only securing the seat of
power without the men of power,” he said.
