It appears the Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) isn't relying
on the legal expertise of its lawyers alone to get a victory at the
Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) and has sought a spiritual
intervention to bring home victory.
This may explain why the PDP National Chapel declared a
seven-day fasting and prayer for its candidate in the just-concluded election,
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to triumph over the winner of the February 25 poll,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, in court
The prayers are scheduled to begin from Thursday, May 18 to
Wednesday, May 24, with an ‘overcomer’s open-air thanksgiving service’ also
taking place the day after to wrap up the spiritual endeavour.
The events are to hold at the party's national chapel, PDP
National Secretariat, Wadata Plaza, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, and time is slated at
12 pm daily, The Punch reports.
It'd be recalled that the PEPT fixed May 18 for the
continuation of the pre-hearing of the petition by Atiku and PDP against the
President-elect and his party.
The pre-hearing of the petition was first taken on the
fourth day of proceedings at the tribunal after counsel for Atiku and PDP,
Chris Uche (SAN) indicated an interest in the matter.
Meanwhile, the seven-day fast was announced by the Chairman
of the PDP Christian Religious Body, Presidential Campaign Council, Boni
Haruna.
Tagged, ‘At the Supreme Court of Heaven with Chief Justice
of Universe,’ the announcer noted that the prayer was to “denounce the
Independent National Electoral Commission’s president-select and rescue and
recover PDP for Nigeria”.
“The text will be taken from Romans 8: 33, Psalms 84: 10-11,
Proverbs 24: 25-26; 9: 7 – 8."
