The All Progressives Congress has said contrary to reservations in some quarters about its commitment to fulfilling its campaign promise of restructuring the country, steps so far taken by the President, Muhammadu Buhari towards the execution the report of 2014 National Conference and the report of the Nasir El-Rufai-led APC committee on true federalism was enough evidence that restructuring has begun.
This was contained in the September edition of the in-house monthly publication of the APC, The Progressives. The piece was titled, ‘Calm Down! Restructuring has begun’ and the e-copy of the magazine was accessed on Monday.
According to the party successive administrations had wasted billions of taxpayers’ money to hold national conferences with the reports and recommendations of such conferences not implemented.
The magazine said unlike preceding attempts which yielded little or nothing, Buhari has taken steps to implement part of the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference as well as those of the 2017 Governor Nasir El-Rufai-chaired APC committee on True Federalism, which came out with far-reaching recommendations.
It said President Buhari has implemented recommendations including poverty reduction and social inclusion as well as economic diversification.
