Buhari's campaign promises as presented by
Vanguard
On Politics and Governance:
I, Muhammadu Buhari, believe that our politics is
broken. Our nation urgently needs fundamental
political reform and improvement in governance
more transparency and accountable. If you
nominate me in December, 2014 and elect me in
February 2015, my administration will:
1. 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;
2. Strengthen INEC to reduce, if possible, eliminate
electoral malpractices in Nigerian's political life;
3. Attract the best and brightest of our sons and
daughters 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;
4. Prevent the abuse and misuse of Executive,
Legislative and Public offices, through greater
accountability, transparency, strict, and
implementable anti-corruption laws, through
strengthening and sanitising the EFCC and ICPC as
independent entities;
5. Amend the Constitution to remove immunity
from prosecution for elected officers in criminal
cases;
6. Restructure governance for a leaner, more
efficient, and adequately compensated public
service sector, while promoting effective
participation of the private sector for more robust
job creation programmes to employ the teaming
youth.;
7. Require full disclosure in media outlets, of all
government contracts over N100m prior to award
and during implementation at regular intervals;
8. Reform and Strengthen the Justice System for
efficient administration and dispensation of justice
with the creation of special courts for accelerated
hearing of corruption, drug trafficking, terrorism
and similar cases of national importance;
9. Fully enforce the Freedom of Information Act l so
that government held data sets can be requested
and used by the public and then such data sets be
publish on regular basis;
10. Amend the Constitution to require Local
governments to publish their meeting minutes,
service performance data, and items of spending
over N10M.
Security and Conflict Resolution
On National Security and Defence:
I will urgently secure the territorial integrity of the
nation. I will never leave the defence of the nation
in the hands of Hunters, Children, and Civilian JTF
through the following:
1. Urgently address capacity building mechanisms
of law enforcement agents in terms of quantity and
quality as this is critical in safeguarding the sanctity
of lives and property;
2. Establish a well trained, adequately equipped
and goals driven Serious Crime Squad to combat
insurgencies, kidnapping, armed robbery, ethno-
religious and communal clashes, nationwide;
3. Consult and amend the Constitution to enable
States and Local Governments to create city, Local
government and State Policing systems, base on
the resources available at each levels, to address
the peculiar needs of each community. I will
therefore work with the National Assembly to set
and revised, when needed, boundaries of
operations, for Federal, State, and Local
government policing units, through new Criminal
Justice legislation to replace the Criminal Code, the
Penal Code and the Police Act.
4. I will push for more robust support in the
Security and Economic stability of the West-African
sub-region and African Continent as a whole. I will
seek and maintain close and frank relationship with
ALL of West Africa; Special relationship with South
Africa and its Sub-region; UK, USA, Canada, EU,
Asia, and the Middle East .

Harmony:
I will;
1. Establish a Conflict Resolution Commission to
help prevent, mitigate, and resolve civil conflicts
within the polity;
2. Bring permanent peace and solution to the
insurgency issues in the North-East; the Niger
Delta; and other conflict prone states and areas
such as Plateau, Benue, Bauchi, Borno, Abia,
Taraba, Yobe, and Kaduna in order to engender
national unity and social harmony;
3. 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 from documentation requirements in
our identification of citizens and replace these with
State of Residence and fashion out the appropriate
minimal qualification for obtaining such a state of
residency, nation-wide.
On Foreign Policy:
I will;
1. Make regional integration a priority within
ECOWAS including free trade with a view to
ensuring that common tariff currency are in use by
the end of my term in office, under Nigeria's

market force;

the relevant data;

Agencies (REDAs) to act as sub-regional hubs in

mortgage terms. This will equally help our banking
system migrate from short to long term
perspective of their role in sustaining the economy.
12. Create a Social Welfare Program of at least Five
Thousand Naira (N5000) that will cater for the 25
million poorest and most vulnerable citizens upon

7. Review and strengthened Veterinary practices
nationwide.
On Infrastructure:
I will;

24/7 basis whilst simultaneously ensuring the
development of sustainable/renewable energy, by
2019.
