After May 29, President Goodluck Jonathan will
leave the Aso Villa and reportedly will relocate to his Otuoke house in
Bayelsa state where he is expected to retire.
According to the The Punch, the estate sprawls over a large
expanse of land contrasting sharply with its rustic surroundings. It is said to
belong to President Jonathan. Otuoke, Jonathan’s home town, is a small
island community in the Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa state.
On the long road to the gates, soldiers and members of other
security agencies, apparently on sentry duty, walked on the grounds. The
overall air suggested guarded and protected serenity.
Behind the gates, shoving their heads above the walls are no
fewer than 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.
According to a source, there has been activity for a couple
of weeks. And it is widely believed that come May 29, after the expiration of
his tenure, President Jonathan will relocate to the place.
As if the president had the premonition that he would not live
in Aso Rock beyond 2015, he was reported to have begun acquiring properties
adjacent his sprawling country home by late 2013.

It is understood that the president acquired properties over an
area which runs to about seven acres of Otuoba around his mansion which had
been there earlier.
