“As a nation, we owe our country’s survival to God who has shown infinite mercy and secured our aspirations as a people. Thanks to Him, our undying effort to build a more resourceful and transparent system that is responsive, God-fearing and fair has remained on course.
Nwuke commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the courage and determination in tackling pressing national issues and the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, for the impacts in the rail sector.
He said: “We are particularly pleased with the efforts being made to diversify the economy, provide meaningful infrastructure, surmount insecurity and instability, and lay the foundation for a prosperous, progressive and healthy nation.
“The APC salutes the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi for the good work he is doing to rejuvenate Nigeria’s rail sector. In doing so, our leader has emerged a true patriot that Nigerians are proud of”, the statement said.”
