Ministerial confirmation: We are now united – APC

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.
