positions, especially the presidential candidates, to abide by the peace accord they signed with the National Peace Committee and ensure free, fair, credible and violent-free elections.
Olutayo who made the call in a press conference yesterday on a National Prayer Day to be organised by the church in Abuja ahead of the elections advised the candidates to take the peace pact advice of the elder statesmen. He said; “I am speaking to all political players now so that violence does not erupt because violence does not just erupt. Violence erupts as a command from a leader. The troops of the Nigerian Army cannot go and start shooting anywhere when a commander does not give an instruction.
“So I consider our political leaders as the commanders of those masses that are members of their parties, who are also their supporters. Let all political parties be serious this time around and let all leaders respect the statesmen and abide by the peace accord, otherwise, they will be treated as enemies of the nation. Let no leader incite violence.
I think you should warn Atiku and Tinubu supporters more
