ATIKU RAN
AWAY, SAID THE CLERGY POLITICO – BISHOP MATTHEW KUKAH
Earlier, President Muhammadu Buhari and other
presidential candidates in the coming elections signed an agreement at an event
organised by NPC.
Some of the items on the accord include
running an issue-based campaign, refraining from speeches that would incite
violence, as well as support the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) to ensure a free and fair process, among other issues.
However, Atiku and the presidential candidate
of the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Dr Oby Ezekwesili, were among
prominent candidates absent at the signing ceremony.
Kukah who is also the Catholic Bishop of
Sokoto Diocese said this in an interview with Channels Television on Tuesday in Abuja. Bishop Kukah, who
was specific about the absence of the PDP candidate, believes there might have
been a communication problem and promises that the committee will take steps to
address it.
He noted that on his way out of the venue of
the event, he was also accosted by a gentleman who said his presidential
candidate got to the event late due to a delay of his flight to the nation’s
capital.
“I
have here with me a copy of a letter which was sent to all political party
chairmen announcing this event,” he explained during his appearance on Politics Today.
“This is a letter that was sent which was
acknowledged in the office of Prince Uche Secondus, the Chairman of the PDP.”
