Fmr President Jonathan taking Buhari on a tour of the Villa |
President Muhammadu Buhari shocked one of his interviewers in Paris on Wednesday.
According to PM News,when asked by an interviewer on France 24, whether Aso Rock was like the Government House he left in 1985.
Buhari
answered:
It was not the same place. The last time I was there, I was
in the barracks. This time I am in a palace. At times, I can’t find my
way around. It is so big so much that it must be expensive to maintain.
But it is there, it cannot be removed.”
Asked whether he is now a different man, he answered:
“I don’t think basically, I am a different man. I came back to power under a different system.”
Buhari
moved into the Villa on 21 June, more than three weeks after he was
sworn-in.His predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, had approved some
renovation work on the Villa, which stretched far beyond his tenure.
