Buhari’s delay in relocation has attracted controversy with rumours spreading that the President had hired Senegalese spiritualists to cleanse the premises.

President Muhammadu Buhari is reportedly set to move into the Presidential Villa, also known as Aso Rock, next week.

These reports were however laid to rest by the Presidency which said that the President hadn’t relocated due to ongoing renovations in the official quarters.

According to a Presidency source who spoke to Vanguard, Buhari will relocate to the Villa and also announce some important appointments to officially kick-start his administration next week.

“It is true that the construction company has completed the President’s wing and he is set to move in any moment from now. As at today, it is only the Vice President’s residence that is yet to be fully completed,” the source said.

“We expect that the two men will move into the villa by next week since the work in the Vice President’s apartment is not a serious one,” the source added.

Buhari and Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo were sworn into office on Friday, May 29, 2015.
