Tuesday, May 28th, 2019.He said this on Wednesday at the valedictory federal executive council
held at the state house, Abuja.
The president acknowledged that the meeting was the last as his cabinet
for the 2015 to 2019 tenure, but told the ministers to keep working, and
preparing to hand over to the permanent secretaries of their various
ministries.
They are to submit their handover letters to the secretary to the
government of the federation (SGF) on the same date.
The ministers took turns to give accounts of their experience in the
last three and a half years working with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Their narrations were mixed feelings as they went across various
emotions, from humour to sober reflections of the few years working
together as ministers.
Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, had informed the
press that the president was going to have the last cabinet meeting on
May 22, and the same had been reported as the day he will dissolve his
cabinet.
But Mohammed explained that ”it is inaccurate to extrapolate from my
statement – that the FEC valedictory session will hold on 22 May – to
say that the president will dissolve the cabinet on the same day”.
President Buhari appointed the current ministers in October 2015, six
months after he was declared the winner of the 2015 presidential poll.
