President Goodluck Jonathan, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and Muhammadu Buhari, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC have both agreed to accept outcome of free, fair and credible elections come Saturday; PREMIUM TIMES reports.
Addressing a joint press briefing after signing a new peace pact in Abuja, Buhari and Jonathan said, ''You may recall that on 14th January 2015, both of us, along with nine other party leaders, signed what has now come to be known as the Abuja Accord. The substance of that Accord was our commitment to free, fair and credible elections in our dear country.
''In the Accord, we agreed to, among other things, run an issue-based campaign and pledged that our electoral campaigns will not involve any religious incitement, ethnic or tribal profiling, both by ourselves and all agents acting in our names.
''Now that the campaigns have come to an end, we meet today to renew our pledge for peaceful elections. We therefore call on all fellow citizens of our dear country, and our supporters, to refrain from violence or any acts that may in any way jeopardize our collective vision of a free, fair and credible election.
''In addition, we call on INEC and all security agencies to ensure strict adherence to their constitutional roles. We also pledge to respect the outcome of free, fair and credible elections. Today, we again renew our commitment to a united, democratic and prosperous Nigeria. We want all Nigerians to stand together at this critical phase of our nation’s history.
''Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. God bless you all''.
