As residents of Nasarawa State anticipate the judgment of the Supreme Court on the 2023 governorship election, the state police command has signed a peace agreement with the leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress in the state.
During the signing of the peace pact in Lafia today, the state Commissioner of Police, Umar Nadada, vowed to deal decisively with anyone who gets involved in any form of trouble before, during and after the judgment, reports The PUNCH.
He said, “This meeting is aimed at ensuring peace before, during and after the Supreme Court judgment. It is also expected that the party leaders would bring this peace agreement to all their loyalists and supporters across the state.
“The joint security committee has also resolved to work together towards ensuring a sustainable peace in the state.
“Information at the disposal of the command reveals that some faceless individuals are planning to stage a violent protest in the state.
“Whoever goes against this peace agreement, no matter how highly placed in the society, will regret his or her action.”
Nadada further assured both the APC and the PDP representatives at the meeting that the joint security forces would be neutral in carrying out their activities.
Our correspondent reports that the peace accord was done in the presence of other security agencies in the state.
The APC was represented by the party’s state Chairman, Aliyu Bello, and the APC state Secretary, Yarus Dakusa; while the PDP was represented by the state Organising Secretary, Yahaya Bunu, the party’s state Secretary, Adamu Bako, Woman Leader, Stella Oboshi and Zonal Chairman, Isa Sule.
