2019 Presidency: Ezekwesili signs Peace Accord deal, attacks Buhari
(ACPN), Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, on Wednesday joined Atiku Abubakar to sign
the 2019 General Elections Peace accord.
Speaking after the signing the agreement in Abuja, Ezekwesili called
on President Buhari to sign the 2018 Electoral Amendment Bill without
delay.
She said the President could rush to sign the peace accord, but
refused to sign the Electoral Amendment Bill 2018.
"The first thing that the President needs to do in order to build
trust amongst all candidates is to sign the Electoral Amendment Bill
2018 into an Act.
"Because he has not done that, I find it very strange that he quickly
was at the event yesterday (Tuesday) to sign the peace accord.
"It is contradictory. He needs to be exemplary in all the things that
he does. He cannot confuse the system by taking one measure that mills
out another measure. That is not the way to go," Ezekwesili said.
On why she did not sign the agreement on Tuesday, Ezekwesili said
there was no communication to her and could not have been at an event
where she had no communication.
Speaking earlier, Kukah apologised for the inability of some
candidates to sign the agreement, on Tuesday.
Kukah, however, said the National Peace Committee had at its disposal,
documentary evidence of invitation extended to all candidates.
"Our doors are open and we are really very sorry for whatever may have
happened, but we have documentary evidence that we did send out our
communication to the offices of all the 91 political parties and we
have evidence that our correspondence s were received," Kukah said.
