No Fight, No War: Tinubu, Obi, Other Presidential Candidates Sign Peace Accord

The presidential candidates from 18 political parties participating in Saturday’s election have signed a peace accord in Abuja.

Among the presidential candidates present on Wednesday are Omoyele Sowore of the African Action Congress, Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, Peter Obi of Labour Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, and Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party.

President Muhammadu Buhari alongside ex-President Jomo Kenyata (Kenya), and Thabo Mbeki (South Africa) also attended the event.

By the text of the peace accord, presidential candidates made a commitment to “accept and abide by the outcome of the 2023 presidential election and if issues should arise”, to “deploy constitutional means and appeal to the courts rather than other unconstitutional means”.

In his remarks, Goodluck Jonathan, Nigeria’s former President who was in attendance, said the peace accord is needed to deter candidates and their allies from using instruments of misinformation to influence the election.

Jonathan, whose speech was read by Matthew Kukah, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to ensure that the election is credible.

“This is aimed at mitigating disinformation, and misinformation during the election and in the time of the social media era,” Jonathan said.

“There is no other time than now given the considerable tension in the country as a result of the election. The election is not war. The country needs a stable democracy. The world looks up to us to get our leadership right and leadership recruitment right.”

Yakubu Gowon, former military head of state, advised the candidates to be “civil in their engagements”, adding that Nigeria is in need of a leader who is capable of “bringing and ensuring dividends of democracy to the doorsteps of the people”.

“I appeal to those who are bent on disrupting the election to reconsider their actions, to give an opportunity for just and fair resolution to the problems at hand. I wish all Nigerians a peaceful election and smooth transition of government as we had last time,” he added.
