President Jonathan & Family Already Moving Personal Effects From Aso Rock

Few days after the President lost his re-election bid, Punch exclusively reports that President Goodluck Jonathan and his family members have started moving their personal belongings out of the Presidential Villa, Abuja. A correspondent sighted some buses loaded with travel bags moving out of the President’s official residence at about midday on Friday.

One of the buses, a white 18-seater Hiace bus marked PF 6244 AL, was still being loaded with bags of different shades and sizes at the time of filing this report. It was not clear at press time where the buses were heading for.

A source said the early removal of the personal effects of the first family might have been necessitated by the need for the renovation of the residence ahead of the May 29 handover date.

For renovation work to commence on time, the President may have to be operating from outside the residence in the days ahead.
