The heated rivalry between the APC and the PDP in the build up to the 2015 general elections has continued to trigger serious concerns amongst many Nigerians.
However, with news just reaching us indicating that President Goodluck Jonathan will this morning meet with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) in a move to sign another peace accord, Nigerians might be in line to witness a violence-free election on Saturday, March 28.
The president yesterday expressed his readiness to meet and sign another peace accord with Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
