The All Progressives Congress has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of violating the non-violence pact, signed by him and other presidential candidates in Abuja on January 14th 2015.

It said violated the agreement by acceding to the incendiary, insensitive, reckless and provocative death-wish-for-Buhari advert, sponsored in his name by the zany Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, on Monday.

But for our partys ceaseless enlightenment of our members and supporters to shun violence of any kind even when provoked, and the peaceful disposition of the APC as a party, one can only imagine what could have happened in the wake of this demonic advert, laced with ethnic put-down and a morally-repugnant death wish for a fellow being, the party said in a statement in Lagos on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

We are therefore calling on all those who witnessed the signing of the pact, especially former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and former Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyaoku, to take note of this very serious breach of the agreement and urgently caution President Jonathan and his party.

We are also calling on all Nigerians as well as security agencies, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria to take note of the political desperation of the PDP and its supporters, while warning that we will hold President Jonathan and his party responsible if anything untoward should happen to the APC presidential candidate, it said

The party argued that the unprecedentedly-provocative advert was not the first time that the President and his supporters had broken the Abuja Peace Accord.

Two days after the pact was signed, our partys office at Ngo community in the Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers, was bombed, the second of such incident in the state, by PDP thugs. Then our party members were attacked in Sokoto by PDP thugs aided and abetted by the police, while the PDP Governor of Kaduna State, Mukhtar Yero, has been inciting violence against the opposition in his state, the party said.

It said the fact that the perpetrators of those incidents got away with their actions without any censure from the President emboldened another die-hard supporter of the President to throw caution to the wind and embark on a course of action that had now exposed, the level of desperation by the President and his party ahead of next months polls..
