Official activities are yet to pick up at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa, Abuja hours after President Goodluck Jonathan was officially certified to have lost his re-election bid.
The offices of Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo and First Lady Patience Jonathan were under lock and key as of the time of filing this report on Wednesday afternoon.
Although the president was in his office, none of his ministers were sighted at the State House.
