Nigeria’s
main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has threatened to pull out
of the peace accord signed by the party and its presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar ahead of the general elections.
The party based its reasons on what it
described as comments, threats and incendiary actions by the All Progressives
Congress (APC) and the Buhari-led presidency which, they said, are directly
inimical to a peaceful, free and fair election.
The party made this known via a statement by
its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Tuesday, in Abuja.
Mr Ologbondiyan was reacting to comments made
by Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai where he threatened to murder
foreigners who might interfere in Nigeria’s forthcoming general elections.
His comments came about a week after the
Nigerian government accused foreign powers including the United States, United
Kingdom and the European Union of actions that could be deemed as interference,
and warned of consequences.
