The residents of Asokoro in the federal capital territory are unhappy over the daily traffic jam being experienced on their commute due to the Nigerian president’s refusal to move into Aso Rock, his official residence.
It was alleged that since his inauguration on May 29, President Bola Tinubu goes to work from his personal residence in Asokoro to the presidential villa and returns through same route in the evening.

This was claimed to have been responsible for the traffic holdup on the road for an approximate of one hour daily, according to a social media user who shared a video.
“This is artificial traffic caused by President Tinubu, he lives in Asokoro, he has not moved to the villa yet. Every morning when he comes to work, he blocks the road like 30 minutes and when he is going back in the evening, they also block the road like 30minutes.
“So you that you’re going to your office get to stay on the road for like one hour just to wait for President Tinubu to go to work everyday.
“You can see, it happens everyday! How do we continue with this because one man wants to go to work?” he asked.
