Ex-Governor Fayose
Former governor of Ekiti State Mr Ayodele Fayose has said that a man who refused to sign the Amended Electoral Bill four times after it was passed by national assembly (NASS) of 469 Nigerians cannot be said to be interested in any peaceful, free and fair election.
Fayose on his Twitter handle said President Muhammadu Buhar’s signing of Peace Accord won’t change his desperation to remain in office at all cost.
He also said ‘a man who has turned all FG agencies, especially EFCC and Police to the attack dogs of the All Progrerssives Congress (APC) cannot be said to be interested in any peaceful election just by mere signing of peace accord.’
Recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari, chairmen of political parties and their presidential candidates in the 2019 general elections on Tuesday signed a Peace Accord as a commitment to peaceful elections in the country. The signing of the accord which was organised by the National Peace Committee (NPC) took place at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
