The Presidential Candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Muhammadu Buhari,
on Friday said he takes the peace accords
signed in Abuja seriously.
This is the second peace accord Mr. Buhari
and President Goodluck Jonathan, the
Presidential Candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party have signed to reinforce
their commitment to a peaceful elections.
Yet, Nigeria has witnessed pockets of pre-
election violence carried out by supporters
of the two major political parties – APC and
PDP.
While avowing his commitment to
upholding peace during the elections, Mr.
Buhari lamented that his party has been
targeted for numerous attacks and called for
the upholding of the peace accord.
Read the statement below:
On Thursday, March 26th, President
Goodluck Jonathan and I signed a new
accord reinforcing our commitment to
violent-free elections.
The new accord is a follow up to the Abuja
Accord which we signed, along with nine
other party leaders, on Jan. 14th 2015, to
show our commitment to free, fair and
credible elections in our dear country.
I take these accords very seriously, and this
has reflected in the issues-based campaign
which I ran all through the period of
electioneering campaign, despite the
provocative and sleazy campaign directed at
my person and my party.
But recent developments across the country,
ahead of Saturday’s elections, run against
the contents and spirit of the peace accords.
For example, the ink with which we signed
the new peace accord had barely dried when
we started hearing reports of violence
directed against members of our party, the
All Progressives Congress (APC), as well as
glaring acts of harassment and intimidation
being carried out against the opposition by
security agents across the country.
Shots were fired at the convoy of the Director General of my
Campaign Organization, His Excellency Gov. Rotimi
Amaechi of Rivers State, in Rumuolumeni, Obio Akpor area
of Port Harcourt, a few hours after the second peace accord
was signed, leaving two persons injured.
I do hope this is not a confirmation of the information
reaching my party that some notorious security agents have
been deployed to Port Harcourt to restrict the movement of
Gov. Amaechi.
In Ondo State, a serving APC member of the House of
Representatives, Hon. Eniolorunda Omosule, was arrested
and detained by the police for no reason other than to keep
him away until after elections, while we have heard reports
of an alleged meeting in Ibadan between the Commissioners
of Police in the South-west and PDP officials.
In Imo, we have read of how more than 30 armed mobile
policemen were unleashed on some APC youths at Mbutu in
Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area, with the policemen
firing indiscriminately, smashing doors and windows and
arresting some of the youths, while there are alleged plans to
deploy troops clothed in DSS uniforms to the South-west to
help the PDP to rig the elections.
These are worrisome developments, more so because they
involve security agencies, which are supposed to be neutral
and professional in carrying out their constitutional duties of
protecting the lives and property of Nigerians, irrespective of
their party affiliations.
I remain committed to the two peace accords which we
signed to ensure free, fair, transparent and peaceful elections
on Saturday and on April 11th, and once again I urge all my
supporters to shun all acts of violence, even in the face of the
worst kind of provocations.
However, the wordings of the accords must mean something
if indeed they are the paper they are written on. The new
peace accord we signed on Thursday called on INEC and all
security agencies ”to ensure strict adherence to their
constitutional roles”. This is the minimum requirement for us
to have credible elections. When those who are being paid to
protect Nigerians turn around to unleash violence on them, it
portends great danger for the polity.
With less than 24 hours to the Presidential elections, I call
on President Goodluck Jonathan to immediately call the
errant security agencies to order, in the spirit of the peace
accords. The President should make it clear that any security
agent who engages in acts that are inimical to the success of
the elections will face the full wrath of the law.

APÇ don start again ooooooooo

That's one of the attribute of a good leader.
rebuking, correcting, encouraging , giving careful instructions to those that are involved and will be involving in violence acts.
Teaching the president what he was meant to do.
Sai baba jo!!

So why has Buhari not commented on his Fulani brothers that kill people daily like cows?
