The United Kingdom chapter of the All Progressives Congress(APC) has described the removal of Mr Lawal Daura, Director General of Department of State Services (DSS), by Acting President Yemi Osinbajo as timely.
The chapter in a statement issued by its spokesman, Mr Jacob Ogunseye on Wednesday in Abuja, said Osinbajo's decision to remove Daura was a right step aimed at strengthening the nation's democratic tenets.
It added that Daura's removal came at the right time, especially at this crucial time when the 2019 general elections was a few months away. The statement further described Osinbajo as bold, strong and worthy of representing his principal in taking desired decisions.
It quoted Mr Ade Omole, the APC leader in the United Kingdom as saying that:" the invasion by operatives of the SSD was undemocratic irrespective of the motive.
"It is absolutely not part of our great party and therefore, the party would never have been part of the orchestrated plan to block the entrance to the national assembly.
“Acting President Professor Yemi Osinbajo has shown his stuff, as a bold and intelligent leader that follows the pursuit of perfection in putting the country on the right path,"
The statement however, noted that the removal of Daura could not have been effective if President Muhammadu Buhari had not given his support.
It added that it was now very clear that the combination of the two men at the helm of affairs has put Nigeria on the pedestal of strength.
It stressed that the synergy of efforts showed that we were now stronger as a country, adding that President Buhari deserve the accolades.
According to the statement, president Buhari is a man of his words, a father and leader to the core.
"We are quite delighted at the hand in glove working relationship between Buhari and Osinbajo, definitely the next four years will be great for our party, the APC and the country at large," it said.
It advised international communities to be wary of their reactions especially on the domestic affairs of other sovereign countries.
The statement reminded international communities that Nigeria is a sovereign country, saying that diplomats should be careful and guided when interfering in domestic affairs.
"Making categorical statement on domestic issues affecting any nation should be guided by accurate information and the standards of such.
"We reiterate our unwavering support as an organ of the governing party in the Diaspora.
"We assure Nigerians that the APC-led government under the leadership of President Buhari will not relent in the continuation of delivering on its promises and people-oriented solutions, as it had been doing " it said.
