The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan has urged Nigerians to continue to entrust the affairs of the country to the All Progressives Congress(APC), stressing that APC is the party to trust.

In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media, Ola Awoniyi which was offered to reporters, Lawan explained Lagos as a home for APC and revealed the confidence that “APC, by the Grace of God, will continue to rule Lagos and rule Nigeria.”

“All that we need to do is to continue what we are doing now. Support our leaders. Tolerate us. Unite ourselves and naturally, stay focused.

“PDP may inform you something funny about the administration of APC at the national level but PDP ruled Nigeria for 16 years and all that they did was to leave and bestow numerous difficulties to us in 2015.

“We are handling those obstacles one after the other and if on the way, we experience brand-new challenges, we are equal to the task.

“By the Grace of God, we are going to turn around the fortunes of this nation for the better. We have actually done so much however we are likewise challenged specifically in the area of security.

“When somebody informs you that the APC administration only takes loans or borrow money, PDP had 16 years of so many resources and they did really little facilities in the nation if any. The cash disappeared and our alternatives are restricted.

“But one option that is not on the table at all is not to do anything. Because you don’t have money, so we shouldn’t develop your country? Nigeria’s administration at the national level is responsive and responsible.

“We would not like to obtain or take loans money but when the options are minimal and the important of advancement of infrastructure in the nation exists, what do we do?

“If we have to obtain, we have to obtain properly, targeted at capital advancement and today I want to say without any fear of contradiction that in every part of this country, there is infrastructural advancement either in terms of roads, bridges, dams and so on and so forth.

“This is to inform you that we want to develop our nation which APC at all levels should have the trust of Nigerians because we will constantly tell Nigerians what it is. We won’t hide anything since you offered us your trust.

“What you witness in Lagos is to inform you among the very best the APC can do and we have lots of APC states that are working so tough to develop those states.

“I want to assure Nigerians that APC as a political celebration is the one that you can rely on because, for us, the residents of this country are the most necessary aspects and individuals that we should always focus on,” Lawan said.
