For all those in doubt, President Goodluck Jonathan will work with his cabinet until the last day, May 29, then he will handover to President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
It had initially been speculated the the President would dissolve his cabinet on Wednesday, May 20, however, the Minister of Information, Patricia Akwashiki, says no such information had been put out.
The minister corrected the misinformation on Tuesday, during a familiarisation visit to the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON) in Lagos.
“I just want to seize this opportunity to say that I noticed in the Daily Trust of today (Tuesday) that it was said the minister confirmed that the executive council will be dissolved by tomorrow. At no time did I say anything like that.”
“There was no reason for me to say anything like that, because all of us know that we are terminating together with the President on the 29th. At no time last week, did I say to anybody, especially, the Trust reporter that this government is terminating on the 20th.”
“The government is terminating with Goodluck Jonathan on the 29th of May. That is actually the position.”
