Presidency denies Kukah’s claim on Tinubu not signing 2023 election peace accord

The Nigerian Presidency has swiftly responded to Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, Matthew Kukah’s assertion that President Bola Tinubu refused to sign the peace accord during the 2023 presidential election.

Kukah made this statement on Sunday at the Edo election security town hall meeting in Benin, sparking controversy.

“What is also very interesting is that the current president, when he was a presidential candidate, did not sign. It wasn’t our fault that the political opposition didn’t take advantage of it,” Kukah said.
