Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that a report indicated that barely nine days to President Buhari’s inauguration for a second term on May 29, ministers have intensified lobby to retain their appointments in the federal cabinet.
According to the report, about 70 percent of the current ministers are desperately lobbying to serve in the next cabinet.
Some of the ministers seeking to return to the cabinet are said to have abandoned their tasks and are busy chasing after close associates of the president to help them into the anticipated federal council.
