THE Peoples Democratic Party has refused to sign the peace accord for the Edo State Governorship election scheduled for September 21.
Former Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar announced this on Thursday at the venue of the signing of the peace accord in Benin.
While thanking those who signed the peace accord, he said, “As you must have seen in the media, I met the Governor (Godwin Obaseki) yesterday and he told me that the PDP is not going to sign this peace accord.
“They have made some observations and I was expecting the Chairman of the PDP to come and make that statement. Having waited for him this long, it is just to announce that the PDP said they are not going to sign.”
According to him, the PDP said it would only sign the peace accord if certain conditions are met.
The Chairman of the PDP in the state who was present at the venue did not explain why the party refused to sign the accord.
