According to him, he has not discussed the issue of the appointment of new cabinet ministers with anybody.
” So, I don’t know how they knew about it. I didn’t discuss it with anybody,’’ he said.
The president also declined comment on the kind of people that would constitute his next cabinet.
President Buhari had on Sunday evening returned to Abuja after a 10-day private visit to the UK.
