National Peace Committee Meets With Osinbajo At Villa | Nairalaw

The National Peace Committee (NPC) on Thursday, met with Vice
President Yemi Osinbajo at the Aso Villa in Abuja.

Led by the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah, and
former Head of State, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar, the NPC met with
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo behind closed doors.

The meeting with Osinbajo comes after the NPC ended their
meeting with the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking with journalists after the meeting, which took place at
the residence of the PDP Presidential candidate, Gen. Abubakar said
his committee decided to address the disagreement, given its
mission to always ensure that there is peace in the country.

“Currently now, tensions are high and we need to see how we can
douse the situation. We have come to listen to the grievances from
the PDP. We will continue shuttling to see how we can make sure
that the peace is maintained,” he said.

Asked if the talks would be extended to the ruling party, Gen.
Abubakar said, “Naturally, when you are dealing, of course, you
need to contact all the stakeholders.”
