SAN FRANCISCO, December 31, (THEWILL) – National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has expressed optimism of the Federal Government’s commitment to tackle infrastructural decay among the myriads of challenges confronting the nation.
Speaking in his New Year message to Nigerians, Oyegun assured that the year 2016 will witness the full implementation of the party’s campaign promises.
According to him, “I want to give a firm assurance that all the promises made by the party in respect of the 2015 election to Nigerians will be kept. The New Year holds great dividends for Nigerians when the policies of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration are enforced full blast in the 2016 financial year.”
The APC chairman added that the N6.08 trillion ‘Budget of Change’ presented by the President to a joint session of the National Assembly on December 22, 2015, provided ample framework to deliver on these promises.
While promising that the Buhari-led government would not derail in any of his plans in the new year, he however appealed to members of the Senate and House of Representatives to rise above political, regional and ethnic sentiments and pass the proposed 2016 budget, which according to him “is pro-people and in the overall best interest of Nigeria.”
