The Edo PDP declined signing the Peace Accord for the September 21 gubernatorial elections in the State, and instead, gave conditions for a free, fair and credible poll.
In response to this, Aigbe said, “Not signing the accord sends a different narrative, sends a different notion entirely. It means the opposition party can easily tell you that you are afraid that you want to lose the elections, that’s one. Two, because you want to engage in violent negotiations, that is two. That is why you have come out that you are not signing. I know that the Peace Accord is a moral document, it has no force of law, but morals is very critical to perception. I will expect that the party would have signed openly and made the comment so clear that we are signing for peace sake, but this, this, this needs to be addressed, otherwise, the election forthcoming cannot be guaranteed by way of free, fair, and credibility”
