That these despicable actions continue even after the symbolic peace accord was signed by the presidential candidates makes it more worrisome .
Just in case they choose to forget, the peace accord is a commitment to peaceful campaigns and elections. It came into practice before the 2015 general election which was at utter chaotic levels.was strategic in thawing the ice which had frozen politics ahead of that election.
His famous statement at the kick off of his second term ambition in Lagos State: “my political ambition, and indeed the ambition of anybody, is not worth the blood of any Nigerian,” has since remained a major reference. Of course, the election was not perfect. But he chose the higher purpose and has since become a global icon of peace and a symbol of political maturity.
We expect that the civil security agencies, led by the Police, which also participated in the peace accord process, must live up to expectation.
