The Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has directed its members to observe a three-day fast and prayer, seeking God’s favour for the smooth conduct of the forthcoming general elections.
The acting state chairman of the party, Tajudeen Lawal, gave the directive in a statement obtained in Osogbo, on Tuesday.
Lawal, who said the APC knew the importance of fast and prayers, and directed that “the fasting and prayer session should commence on Wednesday through Friday which is the eve of the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections.”
