The Kukah Centre, serving as the secretariat for Nigeria’s National Peace Committee, is intensifying efforts in Ondo State to promote a peaceful and credible electoral process ahead of the November 16 elections.
Led by Project Manager Mrs. Asabe Ndahi, the Kukah Centre team is working closely with key stakeholders to ensure that peace prevails on election day.
In a critical step towards fostering unity, the team met with Prince Olaoluwa Adesanya, Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Ondo State, along with IPAC’s Secretary and Treasurer.
The discussions focused on assessing the current electoral climate and identifying any challenges to be addressed.
Prince Adesanya and his team provided valuable insights into the state’s electoral preparations and highlighted areas needing attention to promote harmony among political parties.
Additionally, the Kukah Centre recently engaged with Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), alongside other commissioners and Ondo’s Resident Electoral Commissioner.
The high-level meeting centered on INEC’s readiness, potential hurdles, and measures to ensure a transparent and peaceful election.
The collaboration reflects a united commitment to free, fair, and violence-free elections.
The National Peace Committee, supported by the European Union’s initiative for democratic governance in Nigeria, remains dedicated to fostering peace and credibility throughout the Ondo electoral process.
