MANIFESTO OF ALL PROGRESSIVES
CONGRESS (APC)
NATIONAL SECURITY- Policies:
Urgently address capacity building of law enforcement
agents in terms of quantity and quality as this is critical in
safeguarding the sanctity of lives and property;
Establish a well-trained, adequately equipped and goals
driven Serious Crime Squad to combat terrorism,
kidnapping, armed robbery, militants, ethno-religious and
communal clashes nationwide;
Begin widespread consultations to amend the
Constitution to enable States and Local Governments to
employ State and Community Police to address the
peculiar needs of each community. This would mean
setting boundaries for Federal, State and Community
Police through new Criminal Justice legislation to replace
the Criminal Code, the Penal Code and the Police Act.
Push for more support in the security and economic
stability of the sub-region [ECOWAS] and AU as a whole
and maintain a strong, close and frank relationship with
West Africa, South Africa, UK, USA, Canada, and other
African countries.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION, NATIONAL UNITY, SOCIAL HARMONY:
Establish a Conflict Resolution Commission to help
prevent, mitigate and resolve civil conflicts within the
polity;
Bring permanent peace and solution to the Niger Delta
and other conflict prone areas such as Plateau, Taraba,
Bauchi, Borno and Abia in order to engender national
unity and social harmony;
Initiate policies to ensure that Nigerians are free to live
and work in any part of the country by removing state of
origin, tribe, ethnic and religious affiliations and replace
those with state of residence.
