I SAW THE PLAN AND STAYED AWAY, SAID ATIKU

Early in the evening of yesterday, Tuesday 11th December, 2018 the presidential candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubaka twitted that he was not formally invited to the electoral peace 

Accord organized by President Muhamadu Buhari.
He was of the claim that the meeting was primarily intended to promote certain agenda which champions the perpetuation of the seating president and would wish to avoid committing himself to any agenda that would be detrimental to the success of his party and the equity the party believes in. “I was not officially invited”, said Atiku.    

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.

Ologbondiyan said, “Nevertheless, it is instructive to state that our Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and the party are fully committed to a peaceful electoral process and elections in 2019.”
“Our Presidential candidate is known worldwide as a global ambassador of peace, who will always support processes that will engender peace in our country and the world over.”

The PDP spokesperson added that the party is known for peaceful conduct in all activities, electoral processes, and all elections conducted at all levels in the country since its inception in 1998.


He stressed that the party would visit the office of the National Peace Committee, look into the peace document and fulfill all necessary obligations towards the peace accord ahead of the coming polls.
