Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has dismissed the controversial statement of the Catholic Bishop, Matthew Hassan Kukah, on Tinubu's refusal to sign the Peace Accord. 

Kukah, who spoke on Sunday at the Edo election security town hall meeting in Benin, said, “What is also very interesting is that the current president, when he was a presidential candidate, did not sign. It wasn’t our fault that the political opposition didn’t take advantage of it."

Revolting against the false claims, Tinubu's presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga on Tuesday clarified that “President Tinubu signed the two peace accords preceding his election in 2023. 

He explained that “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," Onanuga elucidated. 

Tinubu's aide, however, threw light on Bishop Kukah's misstatement with pictorial evidence of President Tinubu signing the peace accord. Onanuga clarified that “Tinubu signed.”
