Ahead of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State, the National Peace Committee has fixed November 4 for the signing of the peace accord by candidates and other stakeholders in the election.
Former military Head of State and Chairman, National Peace Committee, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, disclosed this in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to the statement, the event slated for Professor Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka became necessary considering the orgy of violence that has led to the death of eminent citizens in the South-East state.
General Abubakar who dropped the hint of what he called back-channel negotiations and private meetings by the NPC for peace amongst political stakeholders across party line, further appealed to stakeholders in the State to come forward and contribute their quota to the peace and stability of the country, particularly before, during and after the Anambra Governorship Election.
The statement read in part: “As Ndi Anambra prepares for November 6, 2021, Governorship Election in Anambra State, the National Peace Committee (NPC) wishes to announce that a peace accord will be signed by the various political parties and stakeholders on November 4th, 2021, at the Prof. Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre, Awka.
“In ensuring the effective discharge of its objectives, the NPC has been carrying out back-channel negotiations and private meetings for peace amongst political stakeholders across party lines.
“We call on all key stakeholders to come forward and contribute their quota to the peace and stability of the country, particularly before, during and after the Anambra Governorship Election.
“The NPC also wish to reiterate that as an apolitical body, the peace, unity and tranquillity of the country are of paramount importance which cannot be overemphasised.
“Considering the orgy of violence witnessed in Anambra State in recent time, which in particular, has claimed the lives of notable personalities in the state, we, therefore, call for the collaboration of all stakeholders as we work towards achieving our desired goal.
“The National Peace Committee further urged all stakeholders to eschew violence before, during and after the election so that Anambra State will come out of the election stronger and live up to its name as the ‘Light of the Nation’.”
