The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the confirmation of all the ministerial nominees by the Senate, despite controversies was an indication that the ruling party remains a one happy family.<\/p>\n

The party in a statement issued in Lagos on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed described the decision of the opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party to stage a walk out over the confirmation of former Gov. Chibuike Amaechi as democracy in action.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201dThe 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 the agenda of the party is implemented for the benefit of all Nigerians.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dWe commend all our members and leaders in the Senate and indeed the leadership of the APC for this show of unity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt 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,\u201d the party said.<\/p>\n

It further called on the entire National Assembly to continue to work with the
\nexecutive arm of government for the overall interest of Nigeria and its people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith 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,\u201d APC said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
