A group, Progressives G10, a stakeholders’ grassroots support base of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has held a prayer and thank you session in honour of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
A statement, yesterday, said that during the session, which was held at the group’s secretariat along Lagos International Airport Road, members were lauded for campaigning for votes, working assiduously for the party’s success, even as they prayed for the success of the incoming administration.
According to the Convener of the group, Adediran Ismail Olorunnimbe: “One of the moral obligations of every citizen is to pray for our leaders. We need good governance to drive this country to prosperity and security. We supported a candidate who has a track record and is rich in antecedent; a man who has been tested and is at the forefront of our democracy in the person of Bola Tinubu. He put in enormous efforts to return this country to democracy when we were under the military. We believe in his capacity and as he is preparing for May 29, we decided to hold this prayer session so that everything will go on smoothly for him and the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo Olu,” he said.
The Muslim cleric who led the Islamic prayers at the event said any attempts by anyone to stop Tinubu’s inauguration on May 29 would be met with the wrath of God.
“Our prayer is that Tinubu will not disappoint Nigerians. Nigerians should not be surprised Tinubu chose a Muslim vice president because he was more concerned about the country than religious sentiments. The victory was not made possible by man, but from God,” he said.
