Buhari and Tinubu arrived at the Press Gallery at about 1:18 pm shortly after observing the Friday Jummat Prayers at the Aso Villa Mosque.
The top echelon of the State House including the Chief of Staff, Professor Ibrahimi Gambari, and the Permanent Secretary, Umar Tijjani were among those that accompanied the President to take the incoming President around the President wing of the State House.
“This is the Gallery where you will be meeting members of the press,” Buhari told Tinubu as both men emerged from the waiting room of the Aso Chambers.
