appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
APC National Secretary, Mala Buni, in a statement on Thursday dismissed
the position of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the current
ministers do not represent change.
APC noted that the PDP appointed “miscreants, mistresses and thugs”,
as ministers, adding that its opinion on inauguration of the federal cabinet
was “warped and a product of defeat hangover”.
The statement further reads: “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 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 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.
“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.
“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.
“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.”
