APC code of Ethics It is the ideology of the party (what the Americans call the platform statement ) and what I call the DNA of the party that is very difficult to change. The nearest to it since the Action Group was formed in 1951 is the All Progressive Congress Code of Ethics unveiled at its inaugural summit on the 6th of March 2014. It is important to repeat the codes here:- “1. Our party considers the Nigerian people as our nation’s greatest asset, and will do everything to protect and preserve human life and dignity. 2. Our party upholds a Nigeria bound by the principles of freedom, justice, peace, unity and the rule of law. 3. Our party upholds and respects every individual’s choice of faith under God. 4. Our party has no tolerance for corruption and will manage Nigerian resources responsibly, with a commitment to accountability and the pursuit of the greatest good for the greatest number of people. 5. Our party is committed to a strong system of government at the federal, state and local levels as the most effective vehicle for harnessing the diversity and preserving the unity of Nigeria. 6. Our party rests on the foundation of democracy, fairness and the pursuit of opportunity for all citizens, predicated on economic productivity, fair competition and the bridging of inequalities. 7. Our party pursues its objective of increasing economic opportunity, social welfare and progress through a government-led and private sector driven economy. 8. Our party upholds the principle of one person, one vote grounded in free and fair elections at all levels. 9. Our Party upholds and respects the interests of Nigeria’s diverse ethnic groups that constitute our Nation. 10. Our party recognizes Nigeria’s strategic role on the African continent and commits to the pursuit of a foreign policy that promotes peace, security and our national interest.”
