APC Six Points Agenda: State Of Origin To Be Abolished by Sirniyeh(m): 7:08pm On Oct 24, 2014 |
www.desertherald.com/apc-settles-for-six-point-agenda-set-to-unveil-manifesto/ Ahead of next year’s general election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it is in the process of unveiling its revised manifesto to the Nigerian electorate. The manifesto is divided basically into six areas: national security, capital development, good governance, human development, land and natural resources and foreign policy. Under good governance, the APC spokesman, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said his partywould fight corruption to a stand- still and ensure that the judicial system function very well. Speaking in an interview at the weekend, Mohammed said no effort will be spared to ensure that the final copy of the manifesto reflects the yearnings of Nigerians. “We don’t just want to come out with something that is not workable, we don’t want to come out with something that will not reflect yearnings of Nigerians. But I can tell you confidently today that we have finalised our manifestoes which Nigerians will be very happy about,” he said. He explained that under national security, APC had drawn up a well-articulated initiative that will reposition the armed forces, police and security agencies. According to Mohammed, the national security architecture the party is proposing to put in place “will enable all Nigerians to be able to live, work and worship anywhere. “We are going to de-emphasise the issue of state of origin, religion and ethnicity in all our public institutions, you know today if you are given a form they would space for; name, religion, state of origin, ethnicity, we are going to banish all that. “The first thing we are going to do is to implement the Freedom of Information (FoI)Act and encourage its utilisation in all the states, we will follow up by ensuring that our judiciary system function very well, more court rooms, we are going to put technologies appropriately, such as forensic system, verbatim recording machines and so on. “Under human development, we believe that the greatest asset of any country is the people, so, for the people to be useful to you, they must be well fed, well paid, healthy and must be educated. So, our own human development we as well as education and dealing with their health. “Then, we go to economic development, first of all, we will strengthen the economic development in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and focus on infrastructures such as power and transportation. “Under the land and natural resources, the first thing we are going to do is to embark on massive land administration reforms that will enable every state to conform with land registry, and without doing that you can free the land, famers cannot go and take credit, so our manifestos are ready.” On allegation that the opposition party has been unduly harsh by persistently attacking policies of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration without offering better alternative, Muhammed said APC has always justified its position. “Now tell me what personal attack? Mention one I have ever made against the president personal. Give me one example whether I said the man is a drunk or is this or that? You see, I will attack his policies. If I say the president is incompetent that is not a personal attack, that is a statement I need to back up why I say he is incompetent, I look at the state of infrastructure and the at state of security. “When I say this government is the most corrupt government, I have evidences: the Malabu oil scandal, the $9.3 million money laundry, $5.7 million, the 10 or 20 billion dollars they said is missing, the subsidy scam and so on. If I say the president has been unable to provide security for lives and property, I can talk of Boko Haram insurgency and armed robbery. “I can talk about the massive land theft in Abuja, I can talk about the power situation, I can talk about the oil theft that is going on. So, are you saying that we cannot talk about the president’s weakness? 14 Likes 1 Share |

We want to know how they intend doing whatever they propose. We want institutionalised democracy hence what reforms are we expecting in the Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary? NNPC is the most secretive institution of Nigerian Government - what changes do we expect? Labour Unions are now becoming more political than ever - what measures are we expecting to curtail their excesses? White collar corrupt practices are now the norms, the Institution lacks absolute professional ethics - what reform do we expect? Again, on fighting corruption, would there be any sacred cows? If No, will they (APC Leaders) prosecute and imprison themselves if ..? Will they investigate corrupt practices involving the military and political office holders from 1960? You see, Nigeria has educated public than some politicians can imagine. Copying good socialist or capitalist manifestos online wouldn't suffice. 12 Likes |

When Buhari became Head of State in 1984 one of major policy implemented back then to fight Petrol smuggling, was the closing down of all Petrol stations within 100km of all border post and arresting anyone carrying petrol in Jerry cans.

Tolexander: I know we need a change but in the absence of a credible alternative, we stick with the lesser evil in the presidency. Buhari was in control of the Oil money in 1977 under Obsanjo and also served in similar capacity under Abacha's repressive regime. He never distance himself from the corruption galore prevalent in the sad regime rather he was bold to tell all that cared to listen "ABACHA was not Corrupt" You see, his (Buhari's) past is hunting him and everyone of us needs to learn that we can't runaway from our past without following due process of confession and repentance. 14 Likes |

....."We are going to de-emphasise the issue of state of origin....." The APC especially their supporters for example here on nairaland are known to be intolerant of other ethnic groups. You come across derogatory names like "flat.heads" akpu people one even used someone's ethnic nationality of Ijaw as a form of insult her as if being Ijaw is a crime or disease.

In presidential system where executive power is individualized in the President, the various candidates should be infolding their plans to Nigerians. That is far more important than the plans or manifestos of the party announced by a powerless spokesperson. 5 Likes |

Ngwakwe:i won't like us to judge Buhari base on the appointment posts but his role as the head of the nation. I believe he still has balls than Goodluck Jonathan when it comes to tackling corruption which is our major problem. On the issue of saying Abacha wasn't corrupt, Buhari was definitely right cos Abacha only stole nigerian money apart from the anarchy. corruption issue is being raised are COMMON STEALING. He added that corruption is being overused. ... cases people cry about and calling corruption are mere stealing. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan 5 Likes |

Ngwakwe: Don't you think you need to look at the mirror get proper enlightenment about a statement before you rush to discredit somebody without any fact. Same way you argued and talked carelessly that he allowed emir of gwandu to import 53suitcases of money when he was head of state as if you were a trawler at the airport who assisted to carry the 53 suitcases. If GMB said Abacha was not corrupt it was based on the reality that there was no legal proceedings against him in any law court on corruption or money laundering . If there is please bring it here. But can you tell us which ABACHA currently wines dines and parades with your corruption personified president who just pardoned and withdrew court cases on the AbAcHa you called corrupt. Billions of nigerias money was forfeited to mohammed abacha o the promise he will use some to deliver votes to your saint goodluck. If GMB could prevent Mohammed Abacha from flying the CPC flag in 2011 despite knowing it will cost the party the governorship seat of kano then you should respect the credibility of the man who thinks and believes you can't be corrupt and then try to use his platform to gain immunity from persecution yet same individual is being fronted by your party and left to go with billions of our commonwealth.

atlwireles: Let me help you with how GEJ is fighting smuggling and stealing of our crude oil. Giving tompolo a known and celebrated enemy of the state contract to protect our maritime boundaries and waterways Hiring asari dokubo and paying him and his boys billions monthly for security of our oil pipelines Running to the US and telling them to check the crude oil brought to their country and confirm if they are stolen from nigeria then return it back to us since our crude carry" label" During Buhari's regime, buying petrol in jerrycans was not necessary since perpetual darkness was not a known situation in Nigeria. Only smugglers were involved in jerry can petrol purchase then cos what do you need petrol for when you have light at home and at work. 7 Likes 1 Share |

atlwireles: If you think darkness was the order of the day as experienced now? Why has the present government not outlawed buying petrol in jerrycans too? Quote me any day and ask those elderly enough in your home that someone educated you that during Buhari's admin. Petrol buying for domestic use was not necessary becos we never had perpetual days/months of black out. Go find out. How could there be when ECN workers know the implication of not producing power in 2 hours. Look here Nigeria was a working country with every civil and public servant knowing the implication of failure or not meeting daily targets . Like I said earlier never compare GMB with GEJ . It will be a big disappointment to the word competent and purposeful leaderful. 3 Likes |
