Now that we have our new Ministers and their assigned portfolios, it can now be said that Buhari's next level has officially taken off, and the APC is quick to remind the Ministers that there are challenges in the country waiting to be addressed.
The APC in a statement on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, said there's extreme poverty in the country, insecurity challenges, and a struggling economy in need of urgent attention.
Lanre called on the Ministers to do away with their differences and focus on ensuring the president succeeds in delivering his promises to Nigerians.
He said, “The party notes with utmost satisfaction the painstaking efforts the President made in picking the new ministers, their speedy screening and confirmation by the Senate, in addition to the rigorous induction of the new appointees towards acquainting them to the onerous task of assisting the President fulfill his promises of repositioning the economy, ensuring security of lives and property and fighting corruption.”
“While the APC-led administration has recorded remarkable milestones in these three areas, we align with the position of the President that there is more work to be done.”
“There are challenges to build on the foundations that have been laid in the last four years. To state a few, the APC-led government has an urgent task to lift Nigerians out of poverty, secure lives and property, grow our economy, build infrastructure, bring back discipline to our private and public conducts and mobilize Nigerians through personal examples towards evolving a Nigeria we all can be proud of.”
“We, therefore, urge the new ministers to justify the confidence reposed in them by the President and, indeed, all Nigerians, by settling down to work quickly, and hit the ground running and consolidate on the progress that have been made in the various sectors.”
