To ensure safety of electorate and credibility of polls, Gov. David Umahi of Ebonyi says security agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) should sign peace accords Umahi said this on Wednesday in Abakaliki when he signed a peace pact in the presence of Mrs Jennifer Adibe-Nwafor, Chairperson of Ebonyi Chapter of the Inter Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) and heads of security agencies. According to Umahi, the idea behind the signing of peace accords has been misplaced in the country because INEC and security agencies, who determine the success of failure of elections, should actually be signing such pacts. “ They should sign an undertaking to conduct themselves fairly and honestly in discharging their electoral duties. “It is not the political parties that should sign the pact because we have no guns or powers. “I will ask rationally, that they should sign undertakings to conduct free and fair elections, to safeguard the unity of the country,”  he sa
