With about 46 days to the presidential poll, the leadership of the National Peace Committee on Monday said it was still awaiting the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to sign the Peace Accord aimed at encouraging the peaceful conduct of the election.
Despite a claim by the APC that its candidate was represented by the party’s national chairman who signed the Peace Accord on his behalf, the space allotted to the APC presidential candidate to sign remains empty.
However, while clarifying the situation, a member of the NPC, Reverend. Father. Atta Barkindo, told newsmen that the committee as a matter of policy does not allow vice presidential candidates or party chairmen to sign on behalf of the presidential candidates.
When asked if Tinubu signed or was represented during the ceremony held last September, Barkindo said the APC presidential candidate didn’t sign the peace accord, adding that the National Peace Committee does not allow proxy.
