Dr. Reuben Abati, a co-host on Arise Television's Morning Show has described the Presidential Vila as a special environment as he painted a picture of the seat of power to Nigerians.

Dr. Abati gave the description in his reaction to a statement by Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) who claimed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu informed the labor leaders that he lives in a two-bedroom apartment.

Abati, a senior special adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan on media and publicity in his reaction refuted the supposed comment by the President and further described the plush Presidential Villa.

It could be recalled that the organized labor had on Thursday called off its nationwide protest after meeting with the president.

"This main residence and all the adjoining environment is palatial. In fact, the lush of green between Glass House and the Villa, in fact, if you walk there is like you are enjoying the breeze you will know that this is a special environment," Dr Abati said.

"And you see further down to your side, a whole section with vehicles, not personal vehicles but vehicles for the operations of the residence and there is a chapel, Sunday school building and there is a mosque and the main residence itself - the furniture, everything. You walk all the way to the First Ladies place, and she also has her own section."
