The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said with the constitution of the federal cabinet, the journey to economic recovery, meaningful democracy, and moral revolution in Nigeria has commenced.

The party also extended an olive branch to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), urging it to join hands with the President Muhammadu Buhari and the new ministers to re-fix the nation.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday by the APC National Secretary, Malam Mai Mala Buni, the party assured 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 fast service to the nation,” Buni said.

APC however appealed to the ministers to abide by their oath of office, render selfless service, live up to expectations and write their names in gold, saying the Buhari ministers are a winning team, wishing that 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.

The party scribe said the argument by the 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, which was rampant during the misrule of the 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,” Buni noted.

He said 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 added.
