All Progressives Congress has expressed confidence in the
members of the federal Executive Council, saying they were
competent.
The submission followed a statement by the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, that the portfolios inspired no
change.
A statement by the National Secretary of the party, Mallam
Mai Mala Buni berated the opposition party, saying it
couldn’t have assigned portfolios to thugs and miscreants.
He said “The argument of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) that the portfolios inspired no change was warped and
a product of defeat hangover. The PDP should face its
rebranding pursuit instead of running down a performing
government. APC is not a party which will assign portfolios
to miscreants, thugs and mistresses as rampant during the
misrule period of PDP.
“The task of rebuilding Nigeria is a responsibility of every
citizen. Rather than sit on the fence to find faults, the
opposition should join hands with the President to re-fix the
nation. President Buhari has what it takes to lead; he is
imbued with vision to redirect Nigeria to prosperity but he
needs the cooperation of all citizens and groups.”
The party said it had faith in the Ministers to deliver on the
promises of the APC government.
According to Buni, the screening and confirmation of the
Ministers by the Senate and their inauguration by President
Mohammadu Buhari on Wednesday marked th beginning of
journey to economic recovery, meaningful democracy, and
moral revolution in the country.
He also assured that President Buhari led government
would take Nigerians to the promised land.
He said: “The All Progressives Congress(APC) congratulates
President Muhammadu Buhari for the inauguration of the
new cabinet to effect the desired change which the nation
overwhelmingly voted for in March.
“The choice of the ministers and their clearance without any
reservations by the Senate attested to the leadership
ingenuity of the President. We are happy that every member
of the Federal Executive Council is tested and trusted.
“The meticulous assigning of portfolios on Wednesday was
also a signal to Nigerians that their electoral investment in
our great party and President Buhari was not a waste. We
endorse all the portfolios, we have absolute faith in the new
ministers and we know that the final hour of redemption is
here.
“The party notes that the President’s management of the
portfolios has strengthened the nation’s unity, promoted
excellence, provided hope for Nigeria’s rebirth and prepared
the nation for the future.
“The journey to economic recovery, meaningful democracy,
and moral revolution in our great country has started. For
the umpteenth time, APC assures Nigerians of its desire to
take them to the Promised Land. The APC government will
not fail the nation, Buhari will keep his words and salvage
Nigeria for the benefit of all.”
Buni noted that the Ministers showed commitment to
service by assuming office immediately after oath-taking.
He also charged them to live upto the expectations of
Nigerians.
“The unprecedented assumption of duty by the ministers,
barely some hours after oath-taking, underscored the
determination of the APC administration to offer a
qualitative and faster service to the nation.
“APC appeals to the ministers to abide by their oath of
office, render selfless service, live up to expectations and
write their names in gold. This is a winning team, none of
them must fail.
We implore Nigerians, including the increasingly impatient
opposition parties, to give the cabinet a breathing space and
support it to deliver the dividends of democracy”, he said.
Buni recalled that the economy has been turned around in
the last 5 months of Buhari’s administration, stressing that
APC would always support the government to fulfil its
promises to Nigerians.
“Under five months, President Buhari has saved the country
from brinkmanship, plugged loopholes, placed premium on
prudence and set a new template for probity and
accountability.
“In line with the manifestoes of this party, the President has
clearly defined his socio-economic policies. With a little
more patience, Nigerians will soon have cause to smile.
“On its part, the APC will continue to support and assist our
great President to accomplish his mission”, he said.
