John Alechenu The leadership of the All Progressives Congress has reiterated its commitment to the nation’s restructuring as contained in its manifesto. lt, however, said the restructuring promised by the party did not suggest the breakup of Nigeria. The APC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, told Sunday punch on Saturday. Abdullahi explained that just like the party’s National Chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun, said earlier, the party had not renounced its manifesto. He said, “The APC promised in its manifesto to restructure (Nigeria), but we are no longer sure that when people say ‘restructuring,’ they are saying the same thing as APC intended.“The word ‘restructuring’ has taken on new connotations that we are no longer sure what some people are talking about when they say ‘restructuring.’“For example, if Nnamdi KANU uses the word ‘restructuring’ today, is it the same thing as intended in the APC manifesto? If the Arewa youths that gave an ultimatum to Igbo living in the North use the word ‘restructuring’, are they using the word as intended in the APC manifesto?“The term ‘restructuring’ as contained in our manifesto, is a series of political reforms that will strengthen our federalism in order to achieve greater national unity.”He pointed out that APC’s idea of restructuring was that of devolution of more powers to the states, state policing and bringing governance closer to the people. Odigie-Oyegun had, in an interview with reporters after a meeting with governors elected on the platform of the APC on Thursday, restated the party’s commitment to its manifesto, though Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai,had described those clamouring for restructuring as “opportunists.”Part of the APC manifesto said the party would “initiate action to amend our constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties and responsibilities to states and local governments in order to entrench true federalism and the federal spirit; strengthen INEC to reduce/eliminate electoral malpractices; attract the best into our politics and public service by aggressive recruitment of private sector people, academics and professionals within Nigeria and in the Diaspora through internships, fellowships, executive appointments and special nomination to contest elective offices.”It also promised to, “prevent abuse of executive, legislative and public offices through greater accountability, transparency and strict enforcement of anti-corruption laws while strengthening the EFCC and ICPC; amend the constitution and to remove immunity from prosecution for elected officers in criminal cases.”The manifesto also promised to “ensure full implementation of the Freedom of information act so that government-held data can be requested and used by the media and the public at large, and then published on regular basis.”. http://punchng.com/we-promised-restructuring-not-break-up-apc/

Hope that campaign promise have not been denied because there is none that have not been denied by the APC. That is how these idiots were telling Nigerians that "Change" begins with us.Whether restructuring or breakup,one must be fulfilled.

I thought I heard recently that Apc said they are not ready for restructuring now?

Who would ever think of restructuring if not because Ipob is serious with their secession rally and campaign ?

Even the outcome of 2014 was rejected by @bokis because they are benefiting from the status quo.


Now everywhere is heated up, you now remembered the word "restructure". Sorry, it's too late because, the only language Igbos wl understand now is referendum nothing more nothing less.

Mind you, average Northerner see restructuring as break up, so stop deceiving yourself with restructuring.

No to unity
No to restructuring
Referendum is the only answer.

...well, I guess they would call it vision 2020

Its not their fault, because then KOWA Party was begging me then with latest BlackBerry but I said no that I've sticked with APC. Even two day to the election SDP also showed up at my place with Big White Horse as a gift just because they want me to vote for them but I used the broom which I was given by that unvisional party that called theirself APC. But now I have dropped that Yeye broom now I don't have time for that anymore. Come to General Election in 2019. I will use the remain blood in my body to campaign against them seriously.
