The President, Muhammadu Buhari, on
Friday, took the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, on a familiarisation tour of the
Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Buhari and Tinubu arrived at the Press Gallery at around
1:18 pm shortly after observing the Jummah Prayers at the Aso Villa Mosque.
“This is the Gallery where you will be meeting members of
the press,” Buhari told Tinubu as both men emerged from the waiting room of the
Aso Chambers.
This comes barely 24 hours after the President conferred
upon Tinubu the National Honour of Grand Commander of the Federal Republic and
Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger on Vice President-elect Kashim
Shettima, at the State House Banquet Hall.
On Thursday, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had taken Shettima
on a tour of the VP Wing of the State House.
Both leaders exchanged documents ahead of the official
handover of power on Monday, May 29, 2023.
