Rivers APC lauds Buhari over promise on more ministers, appointment of Mustapha as SGF
The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has commended President Muhammadu Buhari over his resolution to expand the Federal Executive Council (FEC) with the appointment of more ministers and appointment of more supporters of the ruling APC into the government with the constitution of the boards of government agencies.
The party, in a press release by its State Chairman, Dr Ibiamu Davies Ikanya expressed the optimism that if this is done, the re-election of the APC led government in 2019 will be a foregone event
The Rivers APC equally lauded the President over the appointment of Mr. Boss Mustapha as the new Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), stressing that his appointment is what is needed at the moment to reinvigorate both the economy, restore stability and direction for governance in Nigeria.
The party however pleaded with all Nigerians to exercise patience and give President Buhari the opportunity to take the country to the desired destination that will make her the envy of most advanced countries in the world.
According to the press statement, “the appointment of Mustapha as the new SGF is the tonic needed by the APC led Federal Government to reinvigorate the fight against corruption, revive the economy, restore hope to Nigerians and provide the elusive dividends of democracy to all and sundry.
“In view of the sensitivity of the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation being the engine room with the core responsibility to ensure the success of the policies of this administration, what the APC government needs at this point is not only a patriotic, seasoned and sound bureaucrat, but a detribalised Nigerian who is well versed in the politics of Nigeria and one who contributed and witnessed the inputs of party members for the success of APC during the 2015 polls and we are happy that Boss Mustapha fits that bill.
“Mustapha’s track record of great feats was demonstrated during his short slot as the Managing Director/CEO of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), an agency under the Ministry of Transportation.
“Apart from this, his outstanding inputs as the Secretary of the APC presidential campaign organisation in 2015 that worked for Buhari’s election with Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as the Director General that brought the APC government into existence need not be overemphasized,” the party said.
It added, “Finally, the party pleads with all Nigerians to exercise patience and give President Buhari the opportunity to take this country to the desired destination that will make her the envy of most advanced countries in the world.”
