 As part of efforts to ensure violence-free polls, Keduna State Peace Commission in collaboration with other stakeholders have expressed readiness to ensure a peace in the state before, during and after the 2023 January elections. They stated these are the signing of a peace pact among politicians, now the chairman, Keduna State Peace Commission Reverend Idoa Ferron, and dried politicians to have the fear of God in play by the rules. So the state governor, Nassir El-Wafai, was represented by the deputy, Hadidza Balarabi admonished our political actors to enlighten their followers against electoral violence. I'm sorry to say that most of these debates are led by religious leaders who have the backing of political party leaders. So brothers and sisters and friends, let us do some reflections as we sign this peace accord. The Keduna State government appeals to all political actors to commit to peaceful campaigns devoid of hate speech, violence and intolerance. It is important to note that careful attention has to be paid to the messages posted and shared on social media, which is more ubiquitous and therefore even more important than the traditional campaign support. Also members of civil society organizations urge political parties and candidates to embrace each other and sign a commitment to peaceful elections. The dialogue with Governor Shin Paredes on sustaining peace dialogue at the state, local government and the community levels in the state. This is targeted at addressing issues that cause threats to peace and security, thus ensuring accountability. Speech by politicians while giving the spotlight on the day of the day, building concepts and mobilizing collective action for peaceful 2020 to 2020. No contestant here by whatever name from whichever party will want a fallout as a result of breach of the peace before children or after the election. As we go out on the field very shortly, we are calling on all our supporters to ensure that we follow the laid down rules, guidelines and responsibilities. We need to work with the people in the grassroot. They will not watch the television as I'm speaking now, or are they going to listen to radio or are they going to read newspaper? They are there on their own, they are frustrated with life, they are angry with how things are now working and they are going to react. So we are appealing to Cabinet peace commission and all other organizations that are working on this that look, let's reduce the ceremony and emphasize on reaching out to the grassroot, taking the message to the people that matters and the political actors from what I've just come and signed, what are they signing, these are part of the issues we are concerned about. I don't see their commitment, I don't see a serious commitment because most of those here are other deputies or senatorial candidates, just few candidates but the major actors that people are talking about are not even here. We don't want this thing to just be a ceremony, we want an honest engagement that people will see politics as their own.
