The All Progressives Congress (APC), has described the
confirmation of the ministerial nominees on the floor of the Senate, as a
show of the cohesion and unity within the party.
The party, in a statement by its spokesperson, Lai Mohammed on
Thursday, said that the confirmation of all the ministerial nominees by
the Senate, despite some misgivings by the opposition, showed clearly
that there is no longer any division within the APC.
The party, however, said that it pictures the walk-out of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators as
democracy at work.
It
urged Nigerians to work with the Buhari-led government as the Federal
Executive Council is almost ready for full inauguration.
