Above is a screenshot of page six the APC Manifesto.
During the election, General Muhammadu Buhari and the APC promised to #RestructureNigeria into #TrueFiscalFederalism if elected into office.
Today, the General has become President and the opposition APC has become the ruling party. Yet, nobody is saying anything again about True Fiscal Federalism.
The first promise on the APC eighteen page document is to restructure Nigeria. Read the except below. PMB said
If you… elect me in 2015, my administration will:
“Initiate action to amend the Nigerian Constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties, and responsibilities to states in order to entrench true Federalism and the Federal spirit.”
There are over forty-one promises contained in the APC Manifesto. However, the most valuable of the promises to us is on the issue of True Fiscal Federalism.
We believe that Nigeria will become great again if we can persuade President Buhari and the APC to implement this aspect of their campaign promise. We therefore call on every Nigerian to remind the APC of their campaign promise.
First, for Nigeria to make progress, we must discard this skewed, flawed, corrupt, unitary ‘feeding bottle’ federalism and constitution that we currently practice and agree to restructure Nigeria into a competitive, efficient, productive, and locally driven True Fiscal Federalism.
It is not a crime to ask a President and his party to implement a promise in their party manifesto!
