Nigeria’s National Peace Committee, led by former head of state Abdulsalami Abubakar, warns President Bola Tinubu and presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi against inflammatory campaigns ahead of the 2027 election.
The committee tells political parties, candidates, and their supporters to stop spreading false or inflammatory information. It also calls for restraint to prevent rhetoric or conduct that could disrupt the electoral process. The warnings are framed as part of efforts to promote peace and stability during election preparations.
Both outlets report the message is directed at senior political figures and campaigns, urging immediate changes in how political messaging is conducted. While coverage emphasizes different wording, the core points—preventing incitement, misinformation, and actions that may undermine peaceful voting—are consistent across reports.
