APC's 7 days of fasting and prayer may not work against Adeleke as expected

Legit.ng earlier reported that the Osun state governorship election tribunal has set Friday to decide the fate of Gboyega Oyetola of the APC and Ademola Adeleke of the PDP.

APC has urged its members to begin seven days of fasting and prayers for spiritual backup for its legal evidence presented before the court so that it can be favoured.

However, the 7 days of fasting and prayer may not work as INEC counsel, Paul Ananaba, in his final writing, said that even if the polling units APC contested are removed, Adeleke will still win the election by over 20,000 votes.
