Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has clarified that the valedictory session of Federal Executive Council (FEC) to be held on May 22 does not mean cabinet dissolution on same day.
In a statement on Thursday, Mohammed said it is the prerogative of President Muhammadu Buhari to dissolve the cabinet whenever he chooses.
Mohammad’s earlier briefing to journalists after FEC meeting presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo appeared to be misunderstood to mean dissolution of cabinet on May 22.
“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.
“They do not mean the same thing,” he said.
