Taming rising political intolerance in Nigeria

So on September 29, 2022, barely three weeks ago, at a well-attended event in Abuja, all presidential candidates and their party chairmen signed Peace Pact wherein they promised to have issue-based campaign and eschew violence. Unfortunately, recent development in Nigeria’s polity is very disconcerting.

It is not only the use of unprintable names to describe one another that is a major concern to me. It is what is playing out on the political field. The PDP in Kaduna State was purportedly denied the use of the Ahmadu Bello Stadium even after paying the mandatory fee and in good time. The alibi given by the Minster of Sports, Sunday Dare, was that the stadium has been shut down for renovation even when no such thing was going on.

Another act of political intolerance and indeed a heart-rending development took place in Zamfara State last Saturday when the state government sealed up three television stations and an FM radio station. The affected media stations are the Nigeria Television Authority, Gamji TV, Al-Umma TV and Pride FM radio, all in Gusau, the state capital.

Taming rising political intolerance in NigeriaIt comes with the season but I had thought things will be different now after 23 years of having successive elections in this Fourth Republic, more so, for the first time since the establishment of the National Peace Committee in 2015, the wise men deemed it fit to have a peace accord signed before the commencement of the campaigns rather than at the eve of the elections when the bad deeds must have been done.
