In anticipation of Wednesday’s judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC), staff of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), National Secretariat have turned to prayer warriors.

The prayer session at the PDP Chapel in Wadata Plaza, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja began at approximately 1:00 pm, according to reports.

Reports confirm that the staff are asking for divine intervention as the PEPC delivers judgment on the case instituted by the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, against the declaration of Bola Tinubu as the winner of the February 25, 2023 Presidential election on Wednesday, September 6.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Tinubu, the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the winner of the election.

Atiku and his party, unsatisfied with the announcement, sought justice from the tribunal. According to them, there were widespread irregularities and malpractices.
