The PDP Governors Forum said the National Assembly should be allowed to carry out its duties in the collective interests of Nigerians.
This is contained in a communique issued by the forum at the end of its meeting in Katsina, Katsina State on Saturday.
The communique, read by the forum’s Chairman, Gov. Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, said the call by All Progressives Congress (APC) on National Assembly members to block confirmation of service chiefs, ministerial nominees and 2014 budget, was unpatriotic and unwarranted.
The communique reminded the APC that the appointment of ministers and service chiefs were aimed at addressing the security challenges in the country.
“The call is unpatriotic and unwarranted, every nominee should be allowed to be confirmed, the National Assembly should be allowed to carry out its duties in the collective interest of Nigerians’’, it said.
It said the forum had constituted a reconciliation committee to appease the aggrieved members, including those who defected to other parties.
According to it, the committee will work with the National Working Committee of the party to achieve the objective.
The communiqué also stated that the chairman congratulated President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP for peaceful transition of authority from the former PDP Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur to Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.
It said the forum expressed confidence that the new chairman would unite the party and lead it to victory in 2015 general elections. (NAN)
