Presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), did not sign the recent National Peace Accord. His campaign organization, the Atiku Democratic Campaign (ADC), has explained the absence stems from concerns regarding the committee’s handling of pre-election violence. Specifically, the ADC cited incidents surrounding the Osun State governorship election and the committee’s perceived inaction. They allege that Senator Francis Fadahunsi made comments potentially inciting violence, and the committee did not publicly condemn them. The ADC spokesman claims this lack of response fueled their decision, suggesting a failure to adequately address security concerns. The party believes a stronger stance against potential violence is necessary to ensure a fair electoral process. This refusal to sign raises questions about the commitment of all parties to a peaceful election.
