The All Progressives Congress, APC on Sunday said that the party will become more involved in appointments to be made by President Muhammadu Buhari and ensure that that party supremacy is upheld.
Speaking during an interview session with THIS DAY, national chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun said, ''It is too early and superficial to say the appointments were lopsided; it is too early. We are just a little over two months into the government. The appointments made so far are personal staff members of the president. And it is his prerogative to make those appointments.”
''Even though we were marginally involved in those appointments, the party will henceforth be fully involved in the subsequent appointments; that is where the supremacy of the party will come to bear. Nigerians should exercise a little patience. There will be board appointments, ministerial positions and a lot of others positions''.
''We are very mindful of the widespread criticisms the president’s recent appointments has generated. While some of our leaders have tried to rationalise them, many of us are not very comfortable with them. And we have agreed to meet with Mr. President early next week (this week) to raise some concerns with him.
''Yes, the president must take some tough decisions right now, but we have a party with huge followers to keep. Many of our members are not happy with unfolding events.”
