A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr
Femi Fani-Kayode, has charged the new ministers to regard their appointments as
opportunity to serve the country.
He gave the charge in an interview with the News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Wednesday shortly after the inauguration of
the Federal Executive Council (FEC) by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Fani-Kayode, who was the Director of Media and Publicity
of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organization in the last presidential
election, however, called on Nigerians to support the ministers.
“Now that Presidential campaigns are over, I congratulate
them and wish them well, they are Federal Ministers meant to be working for
Nigerians now not just for the ACP leaders’’, he said.
This, he said, was critical to enable them succeed in
office, adding that the task of being a minister, was not an easy one.
“I was a minister almost ten years ago and I know what it
is like. It is not easy, so they need our prayers and we will continue praying
for them.
“We must support and pray for them as best as we can, let
us hope that they step up to the heat and do a good job,’’ he stressed.
Fani-Kayode said that it was, however, the job of
Nigerians to keep the new ministers on their toes to ensure that they did not
fail in their responsibilities.
He said Nigerians should not hesitate to call out, call
to order and point out where they may have gone wrong at any point in time.
