VIDEO: Tinubu, Obi, Sowore, others sign 2027 peace accord

The 2027 National Peace Accord was signed by presidential candidates and national chairmen of major political parties in Abuja on Tuesday. The ceremony, organized by the National Peace Committee chaired by former Head of State General Abdulsalami Abubakar, took place at the International Conference Centre. Presidential candidates Bola Tinubu, Peter Obi, and Omoyele Sowore, along with chairmen from various political parties, signed the accord, affirming their commitment to promoting peace and harmony in the country despite disagreements on governance.

However, Sowore dismissed the accord as a "ritual" and called for a "Justice Accord" with sanctions for candidates or parties that violate the commitments contained in the peace agreement.
