Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, presidential candidates of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) respectively, were absent
at a peace accord meeting.
The meeting was held on Friday at the Transcorp Hilton hotel
in the federal capital territory (FCT).
While Ifeanyi Okowa, PDP vice-presidential candidate and
governor of Delta, represented the former vice-president, nobody represented
the LP candidate.
Bola Tinubu, standard bearer of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), and Rabiu Kwankwaso, presidential candidate of the New Nigeria
Peoples Party (NNPP), were present at the event that was presided by
Abdulsalami Abubakar, a former head of state.
Abubakar chairs the National Peace Committee. The accord was
aimed at promoting peaceful electioneering.
Speaking at the event, the former head of state said “this
country is ours to build. With determination we can overcome all the
misunderstanding”.

Tinubu was the only presidential candidate absent when the
first peace accord was signed in September.
