The All Progressives Congress (APC) said the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar was never committed to signing the peace accord initiated by National Peace Committee.
APC said “PDP and Atiku’s dubious claim of a “communication lapse” as reason for their no-show at Tuesday’s formal signing ceremony is hogwash, as the peace committee duly and formally invited the PDP and Atiku like other candidates and political parties contesting the 2019 Elections.
It said “Atiku’s eventual decision to sign the peace deal is clearly a face-saving move following widespread condemnation that greeted his initial refusal to agree to the peace deal”.
