The National Peace Committee (NPC) headed by a former Head of State, General Abdulsalami A. Abubakar (retired) has urged the presidential candidates of the 2023 elections to caution their spokespersons over the rising tension and attacks during electioneering.
This is contained in a statement on Monday jointly signed by General Abdulsalami Abubakar ; Convener, NPC, Most Reverend. Matthew Hassan Kukah; and Head of Secretariat, NPC, Father Atta Barkindo.
