The most prominent contenders in the forthcoming March 28 Presidential election, President Goodluck Jonathan of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Genenral Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC), have signed another peace accord in Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on Thursday.
In a peace meeting held early hour of Thursday, the two candidates met to sign another agreement, following the peace pact they earlier signed alongside other presidential candidates in January.
The meeting was brokered by the National Peace Committee for the 2015 General Elections, led by retired Gen. Abdusalami Abdusalami, to extract from the two candidates their commitment to ensure the forthcoming elections will be violence-free.
They were reportedly accompanied to the meeting by the national chairmen of their parties.
