PRESIDENT JONATHAN AND BUHARI SIGNS PEACE PACT REJECTING VIOLENCE!
Ahead of the February general elections, leaders of Nigeria’s major political parties and their presidential candidates on Wednesday signed an undertaking to avoid actions that could promote violence during and after the polls.
At an event attended by former United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Anan, and former Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Emeka Anyaoku, seven presidential candidates including frontrunners, President Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, openly spoke against violence and committed to a peaceful poll.
Other political parties that signed the non-violence pact included the Action Alliance, AA, Alliance for Democracy, AD, United Democratic Party, UDP, United Progressive Party, UPP, African Democratic Congress, ADC, and Hope Democratic Party, HDP.
The event was a rare meeting between Mr. Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and Mr. Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, APC, since public campaign for the crucial elections began with a flurry of attacks between the two sides.
The two men shook hands and embraced after delivering remarks renouncing violence.
Mr. Jonathan urged politicians to avoid actions and utterances capable of inflaming passion among the electorate.
(CULLED: PREMIUM TIMES)
I hope they keep to the promises or rather respect the peace pact. NO violence and provocative statements? Lets see how long it will last! But really would be good to have our aspirants's manifesto's filled with what they would do rather than pick up cheap points by running down their opponents.
