The governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, in the September 21 election in Edo State, Asue Ighodalo, has promised that his party will sign the peace accord with other political parties once the Federal Government and the Nigeria Police Force meet all its conditions.
Ighodalo said this to newsmen on Monday, lamenting that some PDP members have been arrested and detained without being charged to court.
He said that his camp will not hesitate to sign the peace accord already signed by the other parties involved in the election once his supporters are released.
He cited lack of level playing ground as the major reason his party declined to sign the peace accord, but acknowledged that the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun has now assured the party of neutrality, saying his camp preaches non-violence and that will not change any time.
