The All Progressives Congress has replied the Peoples Democratic Party's claim that the portfolios assigned to ministers inspired no change.

National Secretary of the party, Mallam Mai Mala Buni, in a statement berated the opposition party, saying it couldn’t have assigned portfolios to thugs and miscreants.

“The argument of the Peoples Democratic Party(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 as rampant during the misrule period of 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.”

“The meticulous assigning of portfolios on Wednesday was also a signal to Nigerians that their electoral investment in our great party and President Buhari was not a waste. We endorse all the portfolios, we have absolute faith in the new ministers and we know that the final hour of redemption is here.

“The party notes that the President’s management of the portfolios has strengthened the nation’s unity, promoted excellence, provided hope for Nigeria’s rebirth and prepared the nation for the future," he added.
