Posted By Tony Okechukwu
President Muhammadu
Buhari and the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku
Abubakar on Wednesday joined other candidates to sign the second 2019 National
Peace Accord in Abuja.
The
Presidential election comes up on Saturday 16th of February, 2019.
Buhari and
Atiku urged for free, fair and non-violent elections.
While
stressing that the Independent National Electoral Commission and the security
agencies have given their words in readiness to conduct free and fair
elections, he urged the youths not to allow themselves to be used for violence.
Noting that
there is fear towards the election just like any other elections, he urged
Nigerians to pray for Nigeria as it goes into the elections.
The
President also said that the only real party is Nigeria and that elections are
only important to the extent to which they make Nigeria strong.
Atiku again
appealed to INEC and the security agencies to ensure free, fair elections.
He recalled
the words of former President Goodluck Jonathan where he said that his ambition
is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
Atiku said
that the Nigerian democracy should emerge stronger than the 2015 general
elections that was adjudged the freest and fairest in the country.
The former
Vice President specifically appealed to President Buhari for everyone who casts
his or her vote to have confidence that the votes will count.
“We must
abide by the will of the people.” he stated
