The Presidential candidate of the Grassroots Development Party of Nigeria (GDPN), Davidson Akhimien has signed the 2019 Peace Accord.

Akhimien signed the accord on Thursday at the Matthew Hassan Kukah Centre in Abuja.

According to Akhimien, the development was in the right direction as it will lead to a peaceful election.

“Peace accord is a very good Initiative of the National Peace Committee because Presidential candidates and political parties must commit to ensuring free, fair, and credible elections,” he said.

“More especially, violence should be completely eliminated from our electoral process. ”

On President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to sign the 2018 Amendment Bill, he said such should not have happened in Nigeria.

“It’s not in good taste that Buhari declined to assent to electoral amendment bill. It’s one of the challenges to African democratic transitions and consolidations. Nigeria should not be part of that malaise,” he stated.
