Ahead of the judgment of the governorship election petition tribunal in Kano, Governor Abba Yusuf and Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Saturday, August 26, staged a mass prayer session for the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP).
The prayer session, which took place at a sports complex, was led by a cleric, Sani Ashir, and attended by thousands of NNPP chieftains in the state.
Shir, during the prayer session, described those challenging the election of the state’s governor, Yusuf, as enemies of the state and prayed for God to destroy them.
The cleric said: “We are gathered here to pray for our leaders whom we willingly voted for. We seek God’s protection and guidance on them.
“The enemies of the people are coming and planning to undermine our leaders. Defeat and destroy them all. Destroy the enemies of Kano state who are trying to steal the mandate of the people through the back door.
“The treasury looters and election riggers are yet to concede defeat. They are in the court. We pray for success at the election tribunal and all other seats being contested in the court by our members. We pray for a successful end.”
