The peace accord was aimed at forestalling violence during and after the general elections.

“Despite the series of provocations by the PDP, through hate speeches and adverts being broadcast in the media, we call on our supporters all around the country to remain calm but resolute.”
General Buhari also asked his supporters to ignore any distractions and remain focused on making the democratic process work, encouraging them to ensure that they collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) before the 8 March deadline.
The General reminded Nigerians that the country in a democracy, and that the greatest weapon each citizen has is his or her vote.

“Your greatest weapon is your vote. That is the only way to bring about CHANGE, not through violence.” [myad]
