Clerics Pray For Governor Sule’s Victory At Supreme Court

Ahead of the upcoming Supreme Court judgement following the gubernatorial election, Nigerian clerics across religious divides have united in prayer for the victory of Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State at the Supreme Court.

The three-day interfaith prayer featured pastors, imams, bishops, prophets and other religious leaders from different denominations and sects, with the sole intention of ensuring the victory of the governor who has made giant transformative strides in Nasarawa State.

Addressing journalists at the venue of the solemn but intense prayers, the convener of the Interfaith Prayers session, Hon Danjuma Usman Tanze, revealed that the decision hinged on the numerous achievements of the governor in his first tenure and needed to secure his victory for more legacy projects.

According to him, “it’s about time we put behind us the needless legal tussles that have persisted. We are fervent in prayers for God to restore the victory of a good man who has governed Nasarawa State with the fear of God and integrity.

“It is God who has put him in office and it is our firm conviction that God will perfect his victory at the Supreme Court to allow him continue discharging his duties and delivering dividends of good governance to the good people of Nasarawa State.”

In his separate remarks, Prophet Amos Akwashiki of the Lord’s Brethren Prophetic Ministry insisted that, “he has prayed and God has already confirmed Governor Sule’s victory in the spiritual realm and there’s nothing any human being can do about it. God who started it has concluded it in praise.”

On his part, Imam Hussain Ali offered supplications to Allah, quoting the Sunnah in thanksgiving to Allah for choosing a righteous man as the governor of Nasarawa State, adding that, “leadership comes from Allah and it is Him who chooses his servants to lead the people. Allah will therefore not allow mere mortals to temper with His divine will and purpose for the governor and the state.”
