The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media
and Publicity, Garba Shehu has revealed that the president’s office was
ravaged by rodents during his medical trip to London.
President Muhammadu Buhari spent over a hundred days in the United Kingdom.
Fielding questions from Thisday Garba said, “Following the three
months period of disuse, rodents have caused a lot of damage to the
furniture and the air conditioning units.”
He further explained that it was impossible for his boss to operate from the office in that condition.
The President’s aide said that the renovation would not affect the
effectiveness of Buhari’s work since the residence has an annex to the
office, adding that the president had been carrying out his duties from
home since he resumed.
However, Personal Assistant to the President on New Media, Bashir
Ahmad has earlier explained through his twitter handle that the
President will temporarily operate from his official residence also
located in the villa.
He said, “Some renovations are ongoing at the office, his fully
equipped office in his residence. He will be back to the main office
after the works.”
The renovation, as it was gathered, was being done by Julius Berger.
