Former Vice President and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar has signed the peace accord for the 2019 presidential candidates in Abuja.

Atiku Abubakar, endorsed the pact drafted by the National Peace Committee during a ceremony at the Kukah Centre, Abuja on Wednesday. 

Following his absence on Tuesday when President Muhammadu Buhari and some other candidates appended their signatures, Atiku and the PDP explained that it was caused by a communication lapse between  them and the National Peace Committee, headed by General Abdulsalami Abubakar, a former Nigerian military ruler.

He endorsed the accord at 12:08 p.m in the presence of Abdulsalami Abubakar and some European Union delegates.
