The party urged Nigerians to support and pray for Buhari as he is determined to fulfil his campaign promises.
The All Progressives Congress has urged Nigerians to have confidence
in the Muhammadu Buhari administration as it has proven its commitment
to fulfilling campaign promises with the payment of N5,000 stipend to
poor Nigerians.
The party said the President is resolute in his promise of true
transformation of Nigeria and in the provision of better lives for
Nigerians.
APC spokesman, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the call in a statement issued on Tuesday, January 3.
This is coming after the Federal Government announced that it had
started paying N5,000 monthly to the most vulnerable Nigerians through
the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) of its Social Investment Programmes
(SIP).
He said Nigerians should have “confidence in the ability of President Buhari to design programmes and policies that will provide succour to the masses.”
The statement said: “The party notes that with the
commencement of payment of N5000 to one million poor Nigerians through
the conditional cash transfer scheme of the government, the Buhari
administration has demonstrated its commitment to the party’s change
manifestos which is couched on true transformation.
“We recall that as part of SIP, the government has begun implementing
three other major campaign promises of the party designed to provide
jobs and lift the most vulnerable Nigerians out of poverty.
“These include; the N-Power volunteer corps which will provide jobs
to 500,000 young Nigerian graduates; the national homegrown feeding
programme which has commenced in selected states, and the government
enterprise and empowerment programme (GEEP), which provides soft loans
ranging from N10,000 to 100,000 to artisans, traders, market women,
among others.
“The APC views these achievements as historic and unprecedented in
the history of Nigeria even as it assures Nigerians that the government
is committed and working hard to make significant progress on the
economy, and other sectoral areas.”
The party further urged Nigerians to support and pray for the Buhari
administration “so that our dream of a more prosperous, secure and
stable nation will be achieved.
