November 4, 2021 Anambra Gubernatorial  Candidates Sign Peace Accord

Anambra Gubernatorial  Candidates Sign Peace Accord

Candidates in the November 6  Anambra governorship election have signed a peace accord in Awka, capital of the state.
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, was present at the ceremony, which was facilitated by the National Peace Committee.
Former Military head, General  Abubakar Abdulsalami (retired) and Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah, also attended the signing ceremony.
Anambra, like most parts of the South-East region, has been rife with  several ‘gunmen’ attacks, casting doubts on the safety of people who want to cast their ballots at the elections.

The proscribed Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) has also threatened the sanctity of the election if its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is not released from detention.

But the Federal Government, in its quest to show that it was on top of things,  has beefed up security in Anambra state, with a strong vow to ensure that the elections hold in a peaceful atmosphere, to guarantee a free and fair process.
