According to his campaign team, Nigeria’s President-elect Bola Tinubu will relocate to a military facility in the capital, Abuja, ahead of the swearing-in ceremony.
“The president-elect will be moving into Defence House in Maitama, FCT, where he will spend the next couple of months before moving into the Presidential Villa,” the tweet said.
It did not say when Mr. Tinubu would relocate to the facility.
According to a local newspaper, the president-elect will receive briefings and hold key meetings at the location.
According to the report, outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari had also moved into the facility prior to his inauguration in May 2015.
Mr. Tinubu of the ruling APC party was declared the winner of the presidential election with 37% of the vote.
The opposition parties have stated that they will challenge the outcome in court. They have 21 days from the day the results were announced to file an appeal with Nigeria’s highest court.
