Kano election: APC, PDP supporters go spiritual, kill animals; storm Mecca for prayers

By Wale Odunsi


Ahead of the March 23 supplementary election in some polling units in Kano State, electorate, including members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have gone spiritual.

PRNigeria reports that while some voters observe prayers in mosques, others are currently outside the country (Mecca) to seek God’s intervention.

Aside embarking on non-obligatory prayers and fasting, there are also animal (mostly camels, cows, rams, goats) sacrifices at various local governments across the state.

Depending on the political divide, supporters in their thousands have trooped to various praying sites, some outside the mosques with selected Imams leading them in special prayers against political manipulation and electoral frauds next Saturday.

Some businessmen have sponsored ‘prayer warriors’ on a pilgrimage to the Holy lands in Saudia Arabia for God’s intervention during the polls.

In a video, a businessman in Saudi Arabia, said that many pilgrims were expected from Nigeria for the special prayers over Kano re-run election.

His words: “We have finalised all arrangements for pilgrims coming to the Holy land In Saudi Arabia for payers for peace in Kano in the next election.

“On arrival, they would move to the Grand Mosque of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in Madina for special morning prayers, and thereafter proceed to the Grand Mosque in Mecca for special evening prayers while the following day, they would proceed to a special mosque on the way to Jeddah International Airport.

“Meanwhile, we have made provisions for vehicles, accommodation and feeding for all intending pilgrims for this special prayer against political crises in our beloved city of Kano in the forthcoming election. As we have also purchased the sacrificial rams to be slaughtered.”

Meanwhile, many streets in the city have witnessed peaceful youth protests in recent days with chants of “Allahu Akbar” (God is the greatest) “Hasbunalahu Wani’imal Wakil” (Allah is sufficient for us).

Earlier in the week, one of the groups terminated their march at the Kano Emir Palace, where they performed ‘Al Qunut’ (special prayer) of two Rakat prayers at the palace pavilion.

May the best candidate win

Pictures of them killing the animals or I don't believe it

Only one winner not 1.5 self

Religion has caused more damage to our brains than weed and Trams.

Just imagine these fools paying for special prayer warriors when they can just go to their rooms and pray quietly to whoever they believe in.

They don't have good intentions.
Silly miscreants.

imagine gandollar going to mecca

They should kill themselves

Religious rites will now influence the choice of voters? lol

Where is kano in Nigeria?

This is akin to two teams praying to same God before a football match where a winner must emerge. God will not do for men what they can do for themselves.

May the better party win.

And Governor Gandollar backers are part of this silly charade Religion is truly an enslavement without foresight or wisdom.

Amazing

All I know is that gandoller must go

Fake news, since Inec declared kano election inconclusive, APC had been dishing out one fake news after another.

Despite the tall order handed down to INEC by President Buhari todelver Kano, Rivers and Venue to APC, this States have fallen ALREADY for PDP

Abeg, who Allah go come answer?

They need it cos the population there is the highest in the country.

All because of their personal interest.
It is well.

Gandollar should start packing his loads

Hypocrisy of Nigerian politicians. Would they have gone this far for the common man.

You even think Allah get una time.. yeye pipu.

Assuming Ganduje is someone with integrity he should have called the opponent by now and concede defeat but the dollars won't allow him.

So Hausa people too believe in rituals

All Nigerians should be interested in Politics ,if these people aren't gaining from it they won't be doing all that they are doing ..
