The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has urged  the Federal Government to shake off its weaknesses and ensure a more focused governance in 2013 to ease the hardship foisted on Nigerians, in the past years.

The party advised President Goodluck Jonathan to drop his amorphous Transformation Agenda in favour of a compact programme that prioritises security, job creation, infrastructural development and the fight against corruption.

In a New Year message issued on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said since the country's return to democratic rule in 1999, the year 2012 ranked among the worst years for Nigerians.

The party rated the  President Jonathan's administration very low in performance, accusing it of  profligacy in handling the resources of the country.
