Peace does not exist in isolation. Peace cannot thrive in absence of rule of Law and more importantly, respect for the laws. A system that guarantees peace must be hinged on good laws and such laws help to regulate the system thereby guaranteeing peace and peaceful co-existence.

The members of the National Peace Committee (NPC) know that the panacea for peaceful conduct of the 2019 elections must be hinged on sound electoral laws and also the willingness of all stakeholders to respect such laws. The Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria have passed such law which have undergone several amendments at the instance of the Presidency. The INEC budget for 2019 Elections which were premised on the provisions of the Electoral Acts was sent to the National assembly by the presidency/Buhari. When the law was sent to him for assent, he declined.

My question to the members of the National Peace Committee (NPC) is, what extant laws do they expect the peace accord to be hinged on? A situation where elections are blatantly rigged, open vote buying are common knowledge and results are manipulated at the receiving of phone calls, what peace are the members of the National Peace Committee (NPC) talking about? Are they asking that we should maintain peace in the face of blatant rigging like was experienced in Osun State? Were the members of the National Peace Committee (NPC) not in Nigeria when Adeleke was robbed in broad daylight? Were they in the moon when the security agencies took over the affairs of voters accreditation, allowing only those with white handkerchief to vote while disenfranchising others?

The National Peace Committee (NPC) should first prevail on APC and the President to assent to the 2018 Electoral Act, then we can be talking of peaceful conduct of elections. I strongly support PDP and Atiku's stance on this. "If you make peaceful change impossible, you make violent changes inevitable".

This same Buhari that is rushing to sign a Peace accord was threatening to form a parallel government in 2014. Did we forget that they were not willing to allow peace after the elections, except they were declared winners? Today, we are on the same crossroad and the only panacea to peace is for the presidency to accept and assent to the 2018 Electoral Act. Failing which, they should not expect peace after a rigged elections.

Simply because it is not the mandate held by the peace committee, and the Presidents veto power as exercised is supreme.

Besides, is it not the same electoral law Jonathan/PDP used in 2015 that the FG intends to use? Lol those guys rigged and rigged with reckless abandon while they were in power, hence their current panic and frustration as federal might is no longer in their favour.

The President has given very valid reasons why it is impossible to pass the amended act so close to the election; passing it now would not only be putting the entire electoral process at risk, but is also clearly against global best practices.

Therefore maintaining the existing electoral act is no excuse for Atiku to boycott the peace agreement and lie to Nigerians he was not invited. Thank God his supporters can now see the lying fugitive they wanted to rule us.

Imagine how these people spend sleepless nights defending the crook, yet they refer to others as zombies.

I'm sure if atiku asked these ones to open their mouths so he can take a dump in there, they'd simply ask him " how wide sir?".

Well written article.
Electoral bill will guarantee peaceful process so that a winner will win honorably and losers will lose honorably too.

Funny thing is as they're defending with A, their party is saying B.

PDP said its failure in communication, PDP zombies say it was deliberate

Pathetic confused lots I tell you.

nigga won't agree to sign cos him know that will lead him to daura

Quotasystem and corrinthians, 2015 election was conducted with the amended 2010 electoral act however after the elections there were loopholes that needs to be fixed hence this amendment. This bill was first sent in January and Bubu has been footdragging until it got to where we are. Bubu has no intention of signing it because he came into presidency through rigging when his popularity was high how much more now that he has failed woefully. Bubu's intention is to rig and even the blind can see! It will be better to move the election by 6weeks so he can sign the electoral act than hold elections in February

The implication of this is that the election will be marred with violence..

No Electoral bill, no Peace pact

So Buhari was the one that had INEC, the military, police, civil defence etc. under his command in 2015 to be able to rig? Was Buhari the one that postponed the election in 2015 to enable him earn points against BH thereby boosting his candidacy?

Everyone (domestic & international) commended the conduct of the 2015 elections as free and fair (which is why Jona conceded even before final results were announced) so you have NOTHING to say on that. I remember PDP zombies saying "free and fair elections ended with Jonathan"...was it not under the same electoral law you're suddenly condemning?

If anything, the PDP are just scared because they know the level of electoral fraud they committed with the existing electoral law just 3 years ago with their 95% victory margin in some States.

Is there no competent law court in Nigeria to convict Atiku?

This is a very foolish question, what's the business of the peace committee with the electoral law. How come some of us are so uneducated about very little things, na wa o

The question should be why did they not stop senselessly foolish PDP Igbo from wailing from 2015 to 2023.

Validated :

The peace Committee has no business meddling with functions of the executive and legislative arm of government and you guys should stop talking lawlessly because you are desperate to see PDP gain advantage you assume will help a drowning Party with little or no chance of winning the next general elections.

Even international observers have surmised that Buhari is right not to sign this bill as it comes too close to elections and may become a real source of dispute and rancour after the elections. With elections only two months away, It is best to go with what is in place. Buhari is no fool and he is aware the PDP is desperate because state-sponsored rigging is no longer available to the Party.

There is nothing wrong in riggingbso long it was what PDP used to hold power for 16 years now you can fucq of to hell.

Note that the reason Buhari gave for not assenting to the bill is very valid and he has gained international endorsement over the matter. You can kill yourself if you like but Buhari has acted within his Presidential power of veto.

You guys love to be sentimental about everything. When others commit themselved to pragmatic politicking, you are nowhere to be found. It is to then begin shouting next minute irrelevantly.


https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.pulse.ng/news/local/this-is-why-buhari-rejected-electoral-amendment-bill-id9184450.html

Buhari said he was withholding his assent because he is “concerned that passing a new electoral bill this far into the electoral process for the 2019 general elections which commenced under the 2015 Electoral Act, could create some uncertainty about the applicable legislation to govern the process. Any real or apparent change to the rules this close to the election may provide an opportunity for disruption and confusion in respect of which law governs the electoral process”.

This is one of the reasons APC/Buhari is a disappointment.
They told us that they'll be totally different from PDP but here they are following their footstep.
Tell them to do something of great value they'll reply you with
"What did PDP do during their tenure?"
It seems PDP is now APC's role model.

What on earth are you talking about? So APC, to prove a point to you and others, must reject pragmatic politicking that will enable the Party prosper, win elections and survive and thus be able to deliver for the people?

Is the APC a servant to the PDP and obligated to do the bidding of the opposition to its own detriment or should the APC, within legitimate manoeuvres, do what it has to do to remain in power and thus influential over the fortune of Nigeria ?

In the workplace, do you labour to get others promoted above you while your own career remains stagnant? The way some of you talk shows total lack of objectivity and a disconnection with the realities of life.

It's your loss dumbass
