On Thursday, September 29th, SDP presidential candidate Prince Adewole Adebayo signed the first National Peace Accords, committing himself to a peaceful campaign for the 2023 general elections.
The National Peace Committee organized the agreement.
According to the NPC, this is the first signing of the peace treaty, with the second signing scheduled for January 2023, just before the general elections.
The signing took place at Abuja's International Conference Centre.
Other presidential candidates who signed the agreement included Atiku Abubakar (Peoples Democratic Party), Peter Obi (Labor Party), Omoyele Sowore (African Action Congress), Rabiu Kwankwaso (New Nigeria Peoples Party), Kashim Shettima (All Progressive Congress), Christopher Irene Imumolen (Accord Party), and Hamza Al-Mustapha (Accord Party) (Action Alliance).
The first accord signing aims to commit political parties, candidates, and their spokespersons to conducting peaceful campaigns free of ethnic, religious, and hateful rhetoric that could incite violence and exacerbate the country's growing security tensions. It is also intended to encourage a focus on issue-based campaigns ahead of the 2023 elections.
