Tinubu will be taking over from President Muhammadu Buhari who is serving out his second and concluding tenure.
The official residence, located in the heart of Abuja, was reported to have been recently renovated to befit the country’s next president.
The residence should feature state-of-the-art security to accommodate a president-in-waiting as he prepares for his upcoming duties as the nation’s new leader.
As the nation eagerly awaits the inauguration of Tinubu, many Nigerians are hopeful that his administration will bring about positive change and progress, and that his tenure will be marked by transparency, accountability and good governance.
