Chuks Okocha in Abuja
Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has said he refused to attend the recent signing of the National Peace Accord organised for presidential candidates because attendance at the event has always been one-sided.
Atiku spoke when the ‘Council of the Wise’ of the Savannah Centre for Democracy, Diplomacy and Development (SCDDD), led by a former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, visited him in Abuja as part of its engagement with political stakeholders ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The organisation said it was at Atiku’s residence to plead with him and other presidential contenders to promote peaceful, issue-based and credible campaigns ahead of the elections.
