The Accord Party’s candidate for governor of Edo State, Kennedy Iyere, has denounced the Peace Accord as “one of the biggest electoral frauds” in the nation. In a recent interview with TVC News, Iyere expressed his disapproval of the mechanism intended to foster amicable behavior between political parties and candidates without holding back. He called the Peace Accord a “fraudulent exercise” that does nothing more than give the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) rigging apparatus more power.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
“Signing the peace accord is an effort in futility because the peace accord itself is a fraud,” Iyere stated emphatically. He accused the accord of becoming a “business enterprise” that benefits a select few individuals with connections to INEC leadership.
According to Iyere, the Peace Accord has been used by those “who have some ways headed INEC” to manipulate elections. In his view, participating in the process is a waste of time and only strengthens INEC’s influence in election rigging.
“The peace accord is one of the biggest electoral fraud we have in this country,” Iyere asserted. “It’s a business enterprise benefiting some people who have some ways headed INEC in rigging elections. There was no need wasting my time signing a peace accord that would further help the rigging power of INEC. So for me, it’s a fraudulent exercise that should be eradicated. It’s a total fraud.”
The Peace Accord is traditionally signed before major elections, with the aim of promoting peaceful conduct among candidates and political parties. The process is usually overseen by notable figures, such as former Head of State and Chairman of the National Peace Committee, General Abdulsalami Abubakar.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
