The Presidency has accused Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah of forming a lie against President Bola Tinubu.
Kukah had said on Sunday at the Edo Election Townhall meeting in Benin, that prior to the 2023 presidential election, President Tinubu did not sign the peace accord.
Reacting to the charge, by a statement on his verified X handle, Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, faulted the Bishop’s claim.
“Contrary to the claims by Bishop Kukah, President Tinubu signed the two peace accords preceding his election in 2023.
“The first accord, committing the candidates to a free and credible election in the country, was signed on September 29, 2022. Vice President Kashim Shettima represented Tinubu.
“The second agreement, signed on February 23, 2023, was for the candidates to accept the election outcome. Tinubu signed,” Onanuga wrote.
