Politics President Jonathan to Live in a Luxury Fortress After Vacating Aso Rock

[LequteMan]

Nigeria - President Goodluck Jonathan will relocate to a luxury villa in his home town, Otuoke, after his tenure at Aso Rock expires on May 29th, the Punch reports.

Jonathan has reportedly bought off the areas surrounding his mansion in Otuoke since 2013 and developed the area it into a fortress which is currently guided by stern looking soldiers.

It is believed that the large area of land contains at least eight different structures apparently for different purposes: recreation, security posts and guard quarters. A visitor to Otuoke will not be penalised for calling the place a fortress.

The mansions, which had been undergoing construction and reconstruction in the last 10 years are now ready for habitation. The area they sit on is best described as an island.

Activities in this place had been at a lull until a couple of weeks ago. And it is largely believed that come May 29, after the expiration of his tenure, President Jonathan would relocate to the place

The first lady, Dame Patience, asides a hotel, is also said to have numerous buildings that have been converted into hostels for Federal University Otuoke female students.

A good probe could start by looking into how the fortress was built. Where did the money come from?

I think you will have to probe all former heads of state, governors, senators etc. Some of them live in quite incredible buildings.
