The forward with Buhari, an Independent Presidential Campaign Organisation for the reelection of President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is afraid of its imminent defeat in the February 16, Presidential election, hence its threat to pull out of the peace accord, entered into by the various political parties, ahead of the 2019 general elections. Recall that the PDP had yesterday, through its spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, threatened to pull out of the peace accord over comments made by Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai that foreigners who interfere in the forthcoming elections would leave the country in body bags. This statement is after they have realised that 30 states including their candidate’s state are a no go area and so they want to pull out of the peace accord which will introduce violence. The Forward With Buhari Group urges PDP to allow peace to reign and not fuel crisis. “A violence-free election is what we need and which we will continue to work towards,” Ajulo said.
