Donald Duke, the presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has signed the 2019 general elections peace accord.

The former governor of Cross River State revealed earlier that he was not invited for the signing of the document when President Muhammadu Buhari and other presidential candidates signed the deal in Abuja on Tuesday.

The SDP presidential candidate signed the agreement at the office of the National Peace Committee in Abuja, which was witnessed by the Director of the Kukah Centre, Father Atta Barkindo.

The former governor told reporters after the accord that he was happy that most of the presidential candidates in the forthcoming polls have signed the documents.

He was also hopeful that the outcome of the poll would be similar to that of the 2015 presidential election.

Duke commended the process, stressing that it would tame political leaders from orchestrating violence in next year’s elections.

“The peace accord is necessary. It is one of the fundamental thing to do. You can’t have elections of violence. INEC must do the right thing by increasing voter’s education.

“INEC should live up to its responsibility by sanctioning candidates involved in vote buying so that everybody will fall in line. Until we do that, people will continue to do whatever they like,” he said.
