APC declares 7-day fasting, prayer in Osun to unseat Gov. Adeleke

The All Progressives Congress in Osun State has declared a seven-day fasting and prayer session to seek God’s favor in unseating Governor Ademola Adeleke of PDP.

Gboyega Oyetola, former Osun governor, and the APC had petitioned the election tribunal after Adeleke was declared the winner of the Osun governorship election held in 2022.

Oyetola claimed there was overvoting in 749 polling units across 10 LGAs of the state.

The Justice Tetse Kume-led panel had concluded sitting on the petitions and expected to deliver its judgment before the end of January.

With this in mind, the APC Acting State Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, asked members of the party to embark on prayer and fasting starting from Friday.

The APC chairman said the exercise is necessary for the party after making “everything legally possible before the tribunal for the retrieval of Oyetola’s mandate”

“I believe in the efficacy of prayers and that there are no challenges that are greater than the powers of prayers.

“I appeal to APC members not to treat the fasting and prayers session with levity. I am convinced that God will perform wonders through the collective prayers of party members.

“It is important for APC members to remember to pray for continuous good health for Oyetola and his deputy, Mr. Bennedict Alabi, as well as members of their families during the fasting and prayer session.

“Pray for quick restoration of Osun’s lost and dwindling glory among the comity of states in Nigeria.”
