The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Matthew Hassan-Kukah, on Sunday, backed the Edo State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on its refusal to sign the peace accord initiated by the National Peace Committee (NPC).
Kukah, who spoke at the Edo Election Security Townhall, a programme organised by Channels Television, said the NPC cannot force any candidate to sign the peace pact which has become an electoral ritual in the last decade.
He recalled that President Bola Tinubu refused to sign the accord ahead of the 2023 presidential election, noting that PDP’s refusal to sign the pact should not cause any bad blood.
