He also urged Jonathan to caution his supporters and associates from making inflammatory and derogatory statements capable of heating-up the polity and consequently spur attacks against him. Harping more on the peace accord signed by President Jonathan and Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, he added that the peace accord was not more than mere gentleman agreement, saying what is important is the conduct thereafter.
