From the Defence House, Tinubu will receive briefings and hold key meetings as ‘President-elect’.

‘President-elect’ Bola Tinubu and ‘Vice-President-elect’ Kashim Shettima will start operating from a government-owned complex following the allocation of the Defence House for their use.

The duo who moved into the Defence House on Wednesday are expected to use the facility till after swearing-in on May 29, and subsequently relocate to Aso Rock Villa where the presidential residence is.

From the Defence House, Tinubu will receive briefings and hold key meetings as ‘President-elect’.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, as the president-elect.

This was amid protests by the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and calls from various quarters that the results of the elections should be cancelled going by the irregularities around the use of the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS).

Tinubu, a former Lagos State governor, was declared the ‘president-elect’ after he polled 8,794,726 votes to win the 2023 presidential election.
