The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) has given reasons its candidate and former vice president, Atiku
Abubakar, was absent at the signing of the peace accord by presidential
candidates in the 2019 general elections.
PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Kola Ologbondiyan, said in a statement on Tuesday, that the party was not
represented at the event due to communication lapse between the National Peace
Committee (NPC) and its national secretariat.
According to him, the party
remains committed to a peaceful election and has already launched
investigations into the circumstances that could have resulted in the
communication lapse.
Ologbondiyan said, “Nevertheless,
it is instructive to state that our Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and
the party are fully committed to a peaceful electoral process and elections in
2019.”
“Our Presidential candidate is
known worldwide as a global ambassador of peace, who will always support
processes that will engender peace in our country and the world over.”
He added that the party would
visit the office of the National Peace Committee, look into the peace document
and fulfil all necessary obligations towards the peace accord ahead of the
coming polls.
