The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has agreed to sign the Peace Accord after initially threatening to boycott the upcoming governorship election.

This sudden change of heart came after a closed-door meeting with the party’s caucus.

Governor Godwin Obaseki, who is also the party’s governorship candidate, made the announcement on Tuesday.

He explained that the decision was reached after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, assured the party of a level playing field in the election.
