President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to his office in Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, 81days after the office was reportedly damaged by rodents.

Garba Shehu, Presidential Spokesperson had announced to the world when the President returned from United Kingdom, where he had gone for medical treatment and decided to work from home that rodents damaged the Presidents’ office when he was away.

Shehu said the rodents damaged furniture and air conditioning fittings in the office.

But Bashir Ahmad, Personal Assistant to the President on New Media, said on Thursday that President Buhari inaugurated the Armed Forces Council at his office in Abuja.

The President returned to Nigeria on August 19 after spending more than 100 days in the UK where he was receiving medical attention.

He was received at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by his vice, Yemi Osinbajo, and other government officials, while he was conveyed to the Presidential Villa amid jubilation by residents in the Federal Capital Territory.

But President Buhari has been working from an office located inside his official residence and another one located inside the Presidential Banquet Hall after rodents were said to have damaged his official office while he was away.

This generated a lot of backlash when some Nigerians wondered how the President’s office was invaded by rodents.

In his response, Shehu said: “What is important is that the job gets done. Whether he does it from his bedroom or his sitting room or his anteroom — it does not matter. Let the job be done; and the job will be done.”

Ahmad, however, said President Buhari has returned to his office while responding to a report which indicated that the President was yet to resume at his office.

“And, President @MBuhari is currently presiding over an Armed Forces Council meeting in this particular office you’re talking about,” he said.
