National Peace Committee Meets With Atiku, PDP Leadership.
Updated February 28, 2019The National Peace Committee, led by former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has begun moves to douse what the committee has described as rising tension in the country.
Buhari’s major challenger in the race, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has disagreed with the result as announced by the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, vowing to challenge it. The APC has, however, denied the allegations, describing the PDP as a bad loser and promising to meet Atiku in court.
“Currently now, tensions are high and we need to see how we can douse the situation. We have come to listen to the grievances from the PDP. We will continue shuttling to see how we can make sure that the peace is maintained,” he said.
