President Muhammadu Buhari may likely dissolve all the members of his cabinet before he is sworn in for a second term.

According to the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the President, Mr. Femi Adesina, Buhari will likely say goodbye to his cabinet before his May 29 swearing-in for a second term.

Adesina said this on a programme monitored on Arise Television on Thursday.

Buhari’s media aide noted that, “One thing about governance is that the first mandate was for four years.

“That mandate lapses on May 29, and shortly before May 29, the President is likely going to officially dissolve the government. That is the way it is usually done.

“He says thank you to everybody that he has called to work with him and then he dissolves that government officially.

“Then when he is inaugurated for a second term, he now reconstitutes government; he appoints his personal aides, he forms his cabinet, he appoints other people to fill other positions.”

Fielding question as to whether it would take six months for him to constitute his cabinet as was the case in his first term, Adesina said the President said, “No, I wouldn’t take that long.”
