As Supreme Court judgement in the Kano State election petition appeal draws nearer, the entire membership of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) nationwide, the parent body of the New Nigeria People’s Party, has declared Thursday, December 14 as a day of prayer for Governor Abbah Kabir Yusuf’s victory.
They further appeal to all men and women of God, good conscience and goodwill to join them on that day in prayers.
A statement by Dr. Boniface Aniebonam, Founder of NAGAFF and NNPP, said ahead of the planed prayer session, members of NAGAFF and the entire NNPP members nationwide are to commence dry fasting for six hours each day at a chosen time frame of their choice.
“With God on our side victory is ours. He or she with God is with everything. Gov Abbah Kabir Yusuf is child of God and destiny.
“We know that we won the election convincingly but here we are in Nigeria and Africa in general that politicians and power may be doubtful and anything can happen
“However it is the general belief that the Supreme Court of Nigeria shall ensure justice, equity and fairness to all Nigerians at every critical time,” Aniebonam said.
The NNPP leader who holds the title of Ozoebube Chukwu Umuawulu ancient kingdom in Anambra State, said “under the circumstances of concurrent judgment against us in this matter, it is our belief that the driving force shall be the fear of God to upturn every injustice done to Gov Abbah Kabir Yusuf and the New Nigeria People’s Party at the tribunal and appeal court.
“We therefore run to God for His intervention to give the Supreme Court judges the courage and wisdom to protect the children of God in victory,” he said.
Aniebonam further said that “definitely something is wrong somewhere because it is only political parties that determine their membership and not any other person. It is also only INEC that determines valid votes and not any other person or institution.
The prayer session is slated to hold at the NAGAFF headquarters in Apapa, Lagos.
