As plans for the flag off of the Presidential campaigns of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari are being concluded, the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) family has declared a week of fasting and prayers for a successful campaign exercise across the length and breadth of Nigeria.


The round of prayers, which started on Monday 14th February, will be rounded off with prayers in mosques on Friday and churches on Sunday. The highpoints of the prayers include thanking God for the mercies He has shown to Buhari and his associates all these years of political battles and the successful transformation of a political movement into a party.

Prayers are also to be offered for God’s protection over Gen. Buhari, his family, all candidates running on his platform, his supporters all over the country and Nigeria in general; just as there will be supplications for strength during the campaigns and wisdom to give Nigeria leadership and direction which the nation is in dire need of at this critical juncture.

The campaign programme, which promises the kind of excitement never seen in recent time, is to be unfolded at the end of the prayer sessions.

Yinka Odumakin.
Spokesman to General Buhari
