How Gombe PDP instigates trouble – Kari
Chief of Staff to the Governor of Gombe State, Alhaji Abubakar Inuwa Kari, has said yesterday the failure of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to sign the Peace Accord for the 2023 general election is a plain pointer of irresponsibility.
TrackNews learnt that the PDP governorship candidate, Alhaji Jibrin Barde, had refused to sign the Peace Accord, blaming the police and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for not responding to the allegations of attacks on his office and campaign billboards.
Gombe PDP Chairman, Major General Amnon Kwaskebe, noted that the decision of Barde not to attend the meeting was with the support of the state party leaders.
However, Kari claimed that there is no reason for any politician or political party to refuse signing of the Peace Accord for the election.
According to him: “To me, some of the complaints by the opposition parties are just a sign of losers crying out early, particularly the PDP. Their refusal to sign the Peace Accord is a clear sign of irresponsibility. If a Peace Accord is designed by INEC and security agencies, I do not see the reason why a political party will refuse to sign because of one or two complaints. I don’t have the details of their complaints but I know that in the election period you don’t always have it that smooth.
“We also suffered one or two attacks like that but by and large, I will give the security agencies a pass mark because they have been up and doing. So far, the campaigns are going on with minimum violence. If the party signs the Peace Accord, it shows that they are for peace but not signing it shows clearly that they are the ones instigating troubles and they want to continue to instigate troubles. I hope the security agencies will do the needful when such things happen,” he stressed.
