A group, Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy, and Development has expressed concern over the inability the major political parties to abide by the various peace accords they signed.
Lending her voice to the call, veteran actor, Joke Sylver appealed to youths to restrain from killing themselves for desperate politicians.
She, however, advised all candidates to emulate former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi to relinquish power if they lose election.
“Let’s take Governor Kayode Fayemi for example; did he make Ekiti ungovernable just because he lost? That is a mark of a true democratic leader and so that is what we ask all our leaders contesting this election.
“Anyone that wins should be magnanimous and the one who loses should accept defeat and start working for the next elections.
“I’m calling on all electorates to speak up if they see or observe anyone violating the electoral process.
“As for the traditional rulers, it is high time they realized that they are the custodians of our tradition. It is expected that they identify the youth corpers or INEC staff that will come to their community to carry out their function. These young people (corpers) need to be offered protection,” she said.
