Nigerians may not have to wait for six months for President Muhammadu Buhari to unveil the new cabinet for his second term.

The impression was given on Thursday by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.

Speaking on Arise Television, he said it would not take the president a long time to set up a new cabinet.

It would be recalled that the nation waited for about six months before the president unveiled his cabinet when he assumed office in 2015.

The delay was widely condemned by many who said it showed lack of preparedness on the part of the president.

Adesina said, however, that this time around, the president would unveil his cabinet on time.

Said Adesina:  “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 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 reconstitutes a government; he appoints his personal aides, he forms his cabinet, he appoints other people to fill other positions.”
