Omoyele Sowore, the Publisher of SaharaReporters, is entirely against the futile peace accord instituted by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for the November 6 Anambra Gubernatorial Elections.
As one of the many former presidential candidates in the 2019 General Elections, he gave a piece of advice to the electoral commission, stating that they should focus on the real pressing issues than following a tradition that no political candidate honours.
He said this while giving his concerns regarding the peace accord signed on Thursday by candidates and political parties participating in the Anambra State Guber Polls to hold tomorrow, Saturday.
The activist said it is better if INEC attempt to address election rigging, electoral fraud, manipulating numbers, destroying electoral integrity, and corruption by its commissioners and staff.
Knowing that the state is not secure in this period to exercise the franchise to one’s choice candidates, the government critic who points out all these factors asked when INEC would make a personal commitment to have an accord that ends malpractices in the electoral process.
Those who signed the accord include Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress, Valentine Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party, and Ifeanyi Ubah of the Young Progressives Party, YPP, among several other candidates and parties.
