The National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Chief John Oyegun, has said the actions of the APC-led government under President Mohammadu Buhari are deliberate and cautious.
This, he explained, was because the APC came with different manifesto and would need individuals that are passionate and understand what is required to be done.
Oyegun, who spoke to reporters in Benin City, noted that it was the first time the country is being ruled by progressives since it gained independence.
The APC chief, who described as rumours reports that some ministerial nominees failed corruption test conducted by security agencies, said the ministers to be appointed by Buhari would be a mixture of politicians and technocrats.
He dismissed accusations by the Peoples Democratic Party that the APC was clamping down on its members, saying the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki ,was a public officer.
He said, “The government is not slow. It is cautious, it is deliberate. It is good we go with deliberate steps, make a few mistakes as possible in the appointments that will need to come. That process is nearing its end. Activities people thought were slow about are taking place. Some aspects of our promises are already under way. Implementations of some of the party’s promises are underway.”
“There was need, given that this is our first experience in governance to be cautious. There was need because of the totally different nature of our manifestos and social welfare programmer we promised to the people.
“We don’t have time for the PDP yet. We are busy now to put our government on the ground and start expanding to the yearnings of the Nigerian people. PDP has not put itself together yet. They are no source of concern to anybody. Dasuki was a public officer. He was not a PDP member.”
