Sir: Each time elections are to be conducted in Nigeria, the major contestants are brought together to sign what is called Peace Accord. According to its terms, the Accord is supposed to prevail on all those in the race to eschew violence in any form, to play a fair game and also to accept the outcome of the results as declared by the umpire in good faith.
