President Muhammadu Buhari has been commended for the quality of cabinet
members he has appointed to drive the Change Agenda of the Federal
Government.
Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the National Chairman, All Progressives Congress
(APC), made the commendation on Wednesday in Abuja when he received the
FCT Minister, Malam Muhammad Bello who paid him a courtesy visit.
He said that the calibre of appointees like the FCT Minister would move
the Federal Capital Territory to enviable heights considering his
pedigree.
“The economy of the country was plunged into a sorry state by the previous
governments. “This is in addition to the down turn of oil price, which has
remained the nation’s major source of revenue thereby making things very
difficult,’’ he said.
Oyegun pointed out that if previous governments had diversified the
country’s economy all these years, the situation would have been better
today. He commended the FCT Minister for the visit, saying it was
necessary for the party to rub minds with all stakeholders.
He assured that the APC would work closely with the FCT Minister and the
FCT administration to take Abuja to the next level. On the forthcoming FCT
Area Councils’ election, the National Chairman promised to support the FCT
Chapter of the APC to deliver the Councils to the party.
He stressed the need for teamwork among party faithful to ensure that the
APC emerge victorious in the elections.
Speaking earlier, the FCT Minister promised to work closely with the party
in his efforts to deliver the desired Change Agenda of the Federal
Government. While reminding the chairman of the Area Councils’ elections
slated for March 19, Bello solicited the support of the party’s
headquarters to enable the FCT chapter win the polls.
“We are here to pay homage as loyal party men and to tap from the wisdom
of its leadership which transcend several decades,” he said.
