Also, ahead of the July 16 governorship election in Osun State, political candidates and their parties will on Wednesday sign a Peace Accord to commit themselves to the smooth conduct of the exercise.
Chairman of the committee and former Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar (rtd), stated this via a statement issued on yesterday.
Abubakar also called on INEC and all stakeholders to consolidate on the success of the recently held Ekiti State governorship poll.
He equally appealed to the electorate to come out en masse, exercising their civic rights to vote, without fear of violence and with the understanding that the structures for growth are dependent on peace. He expressed concern over the growing trend of vote-buying.
The National Peace Committee further called on all stakeholders in the traditional institutions, media, and civil society to be alert to their responsibilities as envoys of democratic values which are the means to attaining good governance, resulting in the nation’s collective growth and development.
