The National Peace Committee for the 2015 General Elections, headed by former Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar, yesterday met behind closed-doors with President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja. Members of the committee in attendance included the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe, Primate Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh, Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, among others.

Addressing State House journalists, Abubakar said his committee was trying to get commitments to ensure that all politicians and their followers, allow the elections to be free, fair and peaceful. He said his committee visited Jonathan to tell him the role expected of him as the Commander-in-Chief of the country and as a contestant in Saturday’s presidential election. He said the committee would also later yesterday or today meet with the presidential candidate of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), to get a similar commitment from him.

Asked whether he was comfortable with the current political atmosphere in the country, the former head of state bemoaned campaigns of calumny which, he said, had pervaded the pre-election stage. He said his committee had talked to all contestants and leaders of political parties to stop their supporters and campaign committees from personalising the elections. According to Abubakar, the politicians should stop insulting one another and shun politics of bitterness.
