Ahead of the Edo 2020 election on Saturday September 19, the two leading candidates have signed a peace agreement to assure peaceful conduct.


The two topmost parties and their respective candidates – Governor Godwin Obaseki of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) signed the agreement under the watch of Bishop Hassan Kukah of the The National Peace Committee (NPC), TheConscience reports.

The peace agreement which also included all the other contesting political parties was the signed commitment of the two gladiators in the Edo 2020 election as well as other candidates to work for peace and also accept the outcome of the results whichever way it swings.
