Senator representing Lagos East senatorial district, Gbenga Ashafa, has urged other senators elected on the platform of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) to set aside party dispute and unite for one Nigeria.
He implored the members of APC Senators Unity Forum; the Senators of like Minds and other such caucuses in the eighth senate should collapse their structures and form a united, progressive Senate that will move the nation forward.
Ashafa who made this statement in Lagos said “We have to realise that the hopes of Nigerians are high. The new government has amassed a lot of political capital – having been elected as a result of the massive build-up of goodwill for our various candidates in the elections and the stark disenchantment with the previous administration.
“As a result, the goodwill of Nigerians must not be taken for granted. So I make this call for one Nigeria and it starts with us – One Senate, united for the progress of our various constituents and translating change into policies and laws that will, in turn, yield tangible and beneficial results for everyone.”
He added that all the senators w=must focus on the bigger picture which is one Nigeria.
