Biodun Oyebanji on Thursday reaffirmed his strong commitment to ensuring peace before, during and after the June 20 governorship election in the state.
Governor Oyebanji made the pledge in Ado-Ekiti during the signing of a peace accord alongside 11 other governorship candidates of political parties participating in the June 20 governorship election.
The peace pact was organised by the National Peace Committee in partnership with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and the signing of the document was witnessed by the National Chairman of the body, Abdulsalami Abubakar, who was represented by Martin Luther Agwai; Convener of the NPC, Matthew Hassan Kukah; the Inspector General of Police, Tunji Disu; and INEC Chairman, Ojo Amupitan, among others.
Addressing the gathering shortly after appending his signature to the document, Governor Oyebanji noted that his party had just concluded its local government campaign tour across the state without any record of violence, a development he said reflected the commitment of the All Progressives Congress to peace, as well as his administration’s resolve to ensure harmony in the state.
