One of the daughters, Senator Khairat Abdulrazaq-Gwadabe, who is also APC Senatorial candidate in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), said the family has lived at the Villa, since the seat of power was moved from Lagos to Abuja and that it was the first time that a seating Vice President could visit homes within the Villa to seek for support.

She said many people come out from surrounding military Barracks to register in the polling stations in the Villa, saying the Vice President deemed it necessary to engage them.

Abdulrazaq-Gwadabe, who happened to be the first Senator to represent FCT at the National Assembly, said the engagement was positive and was optimistic that majority of them would come out to vote for APC in the forthcoming elections.
