Diplomatic Missions of the United States, Australia, Japan, Norway, Canada and the United Kingdom in Nigeria have welcomed the signing of the second peace accord by the candidates of political parties competing in the upcoming presidential election of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and fully commit to supporting all efforts that will ensure the Nigerian people decide who wins the election.

In a joint statement issued yesterday by diplomatic missions of the countries in Abuja, the countries noted that it is vital for Nigeria’s stability and democratic consolidation that the process is conducted and concluded safely, fairly and credibly. 

The major political parties signed the second peace accord on Wednesday and committed to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner.

The statement reads, “We encourage all actors to intervene proactively to calm any tensions and avoid any violence in the periods before, during and after the elections.

“We call on all officials at federal and local levels in Nigeria to respect the human and democratic rights of its citizens. We strongly condemn any actions that undermine the peaceful and transparent conduct of the electoral process.

Campaign Violence And A Peace Accord

“We call on parties to respect electoral laws and institutions and take a firm stand against violence and hate speech by their supporters.  We ask the security services in Nigeria to do their utmost to protect that process and prevent and deter attacks against INEC facilities, materials and personnel.

“We call on all officials, including the law enforcement authorities, to ensure a safe and conducive environment for the exercise of public freedoms – including the freedom of opinion and expression, the freedom of peaceful assembly and the freedom of association – all of which are essential in democratic societies, in particular in the context of elections.  Law enforcement authorities should remain visibly neutral and respond in a proportionate manner to any election-related incidents.

“We further urge all presidential candidates and political parties to live up to their commitments under the second Peace Accord to accept the results of the election as announced by INEC and to pursue any challenge of the results through the appropriate legal channels.”

Finally, the Diplomatic Missions of the United States, Australia, Japan, Norway, Canada and the United Kingdom in Nigeria congratulated Nigeria on its 24 years of democratic progress since 1999, during which it has been a symbol to others of the value of exercising democratic rights for the betterment of society. 

“We hope that this year’s elections further build Nigeria’s democratic tradition,” they said.
