The All Progressives Congress in Kano State has directed its members to observe fasting and prayers to seek God’s intervention for victory in the Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.
This development is coming after the New Nigeria Peoples Party held a prayer session on Saturday seeking victory on the outcome of the much-anticipated judgment as well for peace and tranquillity in the state and country.
The 2023 presidential candidate of the NNPP, Rabiu Kwankwaso, also joined the Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, at the special prayer session for the state and nation.
The APC state secretary, Ibrahim Zakari Sarina, in an interview with Daily Trust on Monday, disclosed that the majority of their supporters have already commenced their fasting while offering prayers at various wards, local government levels and campaign offices.
He said, “As you know, we are democrats and we don’t believe in chaotic procession or anything that will look like a cult.
“Looking at the economic situation in the country, we advised, not mandated, anyone who can afford to observe the fasting to fast, and many are doing it today (Monday).
“The prayer sessions are being held at the Ward level, local government levels, and in our campaign offices across the state. We don’t want a situation where we will suffer as individuals. We want it to be peaceful and orderly.
“I am also travelling to my village to join them today (Monday). We will break fast there and pray.”
