Osun APC Declares 7 Day Fasting And Prayer For Favourable Tribunal Judgement

The All Progressives Congress (APC), Osun state chapter has asked its members to commence seven-day fasting and prayer for favourable judgment at the election petition tribunal.

In August 2022, Gboyega Oyetola, former Osun governor, and the APC petitioned the tribunal to challenge the election victory of Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

A statement on Friday by Tajudeen Lawal, the acting chair of Osun APC, stated that the fasting and prayer begins on Friday.

He also 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,” he said

“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”, the statement read.
