# APC # Manifesto as requested by FANS This is an extract: Good Governance “APC will aggressively tackle corruption” “We shall negotiate oil deals, unveil the secrecy surrounding the ownership of 49% of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG, query the over N50 trillion Oil Revenue which accrued to the Federation Account between 2000 and 2013 and recover billions of US Dollars which Ministries, Departments and Agencies, failed to remit to the Federation Account” APC will not only strengthen and make independent the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC, and other anti- graft agencies by repealing the laws which inhibit their independence, we will also review public service rules and financial regulations which currently permit outrageous impropriety in public finances. We will sponsor and push for the removal of the immunity clause in the constitution which shields the president, vice president, governors and deputy governors from prosecution while in office. “APC in Government shall muster the political will to wage strident war against corruption; otherwise our post-oil-economy will be disastrous” “It is our considered view that none of our cardinal programs will succeed if the current level of corruption and looting going on in the land is allowed to continue. We shall plug all leakages which accelerate monumental corruption, recover looted funds, cap and trim unwarranted allowances to public office holders” INEC APC will make the appointment of the chairman and top officials of the National and State Electoral Commission public and the “Burden of Proof shall rest on the Electoral Commissioners.” Political Reform We are committed among other things, to initiate action to amend the constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties and responsibilities to states and local governments in order to entrench Federalism and the Federal Spirit; remove immunity from prosecution for elected public officers in criminal cases; ensure full implementation of the Freedom of Information (FoI) Act so that government held data set can be requested and used by the media and public at large and then publish at large, and then on regular basis; and restructure government for a leaner, more efficient and less expensive public service. “APC believes that our politics is broke. Our nation urgently needs fundamental political reform and improvement in governance to make it more transparent and accountable” Power Generation APC will pursue the expansion of electricity generation and distribution of up to 40,000 megawatts in the four to eight years of its administration. “Our party will also work assiduously at making available power from renewable energy sources such as coal, solar, wind and biomass for domestic and industrial use, whenever these prove viable” Police Reform Upon our assumption of office, we will begin wide consultations to amend the Constitution with a view to decentralizing the police command and expand local content. Security On the social scene, APC will not only invest in massive human capital that would encourage the youth, we will “assist Nollywood to fully develop into world-class industry that can compete effectively with Hollywood and Bollywood in due course”.
