15 Political parties sign peace accord in Akwa Ibom via xtrazine
Durosinmi said that the goal of the peace agreement was to promote peace in all ways and to ensure that candidates didn’t say anything that could cause violence before, during, or after the elections.
He said, “I urge all the candidates to talk to your supporters, some of whom are overzealous. Tell them that election cannot be won by violence. Signing the peace accord is not enough, but talking to your supporters to comport themselves during and after the polls. Dr Cyril Omorogbe, the State Resident Electoral Commissioner of INEC, was represented by Mr Emmanuel Ogbodu, the Administrative Secretary. In his speech, Dr Omorogbe promised a level playing pitch for all the candidates and said that INEC will continue to be an “unbiased umpire for the elections.”In their separate speeches, the candidates for governor asked the INEC to stay neutral and hold free, fair, and credible elections, unlike what it did during the presidential election on February 25.
