President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pledged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the 2027 Peace Accord, vowing that the party will campaign peacefully, uphold national stability and democratic progress.

President Tinubu expressed confidence that adherence to the Peace Accord would lead to peaceful campaigns, credible elections, and a stronger democratic system ahead of the 2027 presidential poll.
