KSUF commends Senate leadership on ministerial screening

The Kwara South United Forum (KSUF) has applauded the Senate and its leadership for the successful screening of the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lai Mohammed, on Tuesday as a ministerial nominee.

In statement yesterday in Ilorin, the forum said that the clearing of the former opposition party spokesman with acclamation by all the senators has underscored the maturity and patriotic approach of the senators and their leadership to the sensitive political exercise.

It, particularly, commended Senate President, Bukola Saraki for rising above petty political sentiments and divisive campaigns of some of his supporters against the nomination of the APC spokesman.

The forum urged Senator Saraki to consolidate the gains of his political leadership of the Senate by promoting harmony among the various political tendencies in the National Assembly and the entire nation.

It also congratulated Mohammed to reciprocate the confidence reposed in him by President Muhammadu Buhari, the Senate and APC by re-dedicating himself to national ideals and service.

It advised him to demonstrate higher capacity for progressive and dynamic leadership in whatever ministry that would be assigned to him in the philosophy of “change” which he had propagated for the ruling party.

The convener and interim legal adviser of the forum, Maj.-Gen. Yemi Abidoye (rtd) and Barrister Rotimi Ogunwuyi, signed the statement.
