Governorship candidates contesting the 2027 Adamawa State election have signed a Peace Accord in Yola, committing to peaceful, responsible and issue-based campaigns ahead of the February 2027 elections.
The accord was signed at the Banquet Hall of the Adamawa State Government House during the Adamawa 2027 Violence-Free Campaigns and Elections Peace Accord Summit, organised by the ABAK Peace Foundation in collaboration with the National Peace Committee, chaired by former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, and the Adamawa State Peace Commission.
The candidates pledged to reject electoral violence, hate speech, ethnic and religious incitement, intimidation, threats, misinformation and personal attacks, while focusing their campaigns on policies, programmes and their visions for the development of Adamawa State.
The summit also brought together political stakeholders and other critical actors to discuss ways of preventing election-related violence and ensuring that political disagreements are addressed through lawful and democratic means. They stressed the need to take responsibility for peaceful elections extends beyond candidates and parties to include supporters, security agencies, traditional and religious leaders, the media, civil society, youth, women and the wider electorate.
The Adamawa accord builds on the National Peace Accord signed in Abuja in August 2026 by political parties and presidential candidates ahead of the 2027 elections. The organisers say the state-level initiative is aimed at translating that national commitment into concrete action, ensuring that competition for political power does not threaten the peace, security and unity of Adamawa State.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, the stakeholders are urging political actors to compete vigorously within democratic rules, respect opposing views and allow voters to make their choices freely and peacefully.
