United we stand says APC lawmakers

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the
confirmation of all the ministerial nominees by the Senate,
despite some misgivings by the opposition, has shown that
the party’s legislators are ready to work with the executive
toward the implementation of its agenda for the benefit of
all Nigerians.
The APC added that the confirmation had revealed that
there is no longer any division within the APC family.
“The cohesion and unity exhibited by the APC Senators on
Thursday have shown that our legislators are ready to work
with the executive and the party to ensure that the agenda
of the party is implemented for the benefit of all Nigerians,’”
the party said in a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.
“We commend all our members and leaders in the Senate
and indeed the leadership of the APC for this show of unity,”
it said.
APC said democracy was at work in the Senate yesterday,
despite the decision of the opposition PDP Senators to stage
a walk out over the confirmation of former Governor
Chibuike Amaechi.
“It is part of democracy that while the minority can have
their say, the majority will have their way. Therefore, the
decision of the PDP Senators to walk out is nothing but
democracy in action,” the party said.
It enjoined the entire National Assembly to continue to work
with the executive arm of government for the overall
interest of Nigeria and its people.
“With the stage now set for the federal cabinet to be in place,
we implore all Nigerians, irrespective of their party
affiliation, to support President Muhammadu Buhari in his
onerous task of making Nigeria great again,” APC said.
