President Goodluck Jonathan and his relatives are gradually moving their personal things out of the presidential villa, reports say.
The Punch correspondent observed several buses loaded with bags as they were leaving the villa on April 4, Friday.
A source disclosed that the early removal could be connected with the need to carry out renovation at the residence before the inauguration on May 29.
Therefore Jonathan might have to operate from outside the residence from now on.
It was also learned that the presidency has started investigating how the recording of the telephone call between him and Buhari, in which he congratulated the president-elect, had leaked online.
The presidency was said to have been dissatisfied with the release of the audio. It is yet to be ascertained whether the conversation was leaked by Jonathan’s or Buhari’s camp.
The source explained:
“Definitely, unauthorised release of a raw recording of the President’s telephone conversation, if from our (presidency’s) end is a security breach that cannot go without being investigated.”
Earlier this week reports emerged that Patience Jonathan, Nigeria’s First Lady, had already started moving out of the villa. A truck packed with personal belongings was spotted when it was driving out of the residence.
Meanwhile it was reported yesterday that Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari met yesterday behind closed doors at Aso Rock, apparently to discuss the transition ceremony.
