A release from the Liberian Embassy in Abuja said the signing of the peace pact was held on Wednesday, February 13, 2019, at the International Conference Center (ICC) in Abuja, the Federal Republic of Nigeria. While signing the peace accord, President Buhari and the other candidates also pledged to ensure that the polls are conducted peacefully, according to the release. The event was organized by the National Peace Committee under the chairmanship of former Nigerian Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar. “My ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian,” he said, quoting the former Nigerian President. “Consequently, I also appeal to President Buhari to use his good offices to ensure that every eligible person who casts their vote is confident in the process and in the belief that their vote will count,” he added.
