GEN ABDULSALAM ABUBAKAR CALLS FOR PEACE

A former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, on Monday in Abuja held a marathon meeting with Service Chiefs and Inspector-General of Police, warning that the 2011 post-election violence should not be repeated.

He spoke in his capacity as Chairman of National Peace Committee on 2015 Elections, which was convened by the Founder of the Kukah Centre for Faith and Leadership Research and Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Bishop Mathew Kukah.
The committee is aimed as ensuring full compliance with the peace accord signed by President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party and his closest rival and presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
The meeting also had in attendance representatives of various political parties and religious leaders.
