Those in the race for next month's presidential election pledged yesterday that the presidential election will be violence free.
President Goodluck Jonathan, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and nine other presidential candidates signed an accord to maintain peace.
They also pledged to stop vicious campaign comments, which could affect the conduct of a free and fair election.
The presidential candidates signed the agreement at a 2015 General Elections Sensitisation Workshop on Non-Violence in Abuja.
The session was hosted by the Office of the National Security Adviser and Office of the Special Adviser to the President on Inter-Party Affairs.
The two offices were supported by the European Union, UKaid, UNDP, IRI, the Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada, and the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPPS), Kuru.
