The Presidency has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari is set to dissolve his cabinet before his inauguration for a second term in office on 29 May.

Concise News reports that Buhari won his re-election, polling over 15 million votes to defeat his main challenger and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, who scored 11,262,978 votes.

That is a difference of 3.9 million votes after the official announcement of results from the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Spokesman for Buhari Femi Adesina, in an interview on Arise TV, said the president was expected to officially dissolve his cabinet at the expiration of his first tenure.

Adesina said: “That mandate lapses on May 29, and shortly before May 29, the president is likely going to officially dissolve his 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 time, he now reconstitute a government; he appoints his personal aides, he forms his cabinet, he appoints other people to fill other positions.”
