Ahead of the Dec. 10 re-run elections in Rivers, the state government has declared a three-day fasting and prayer programme to seek God’s intervention for peace and order in the state.
The Commissioner for Information in the state, Mr. Austin Tam-George, who stated this in a statement he issued on Monday in Port Harcourt, said the fasting will hold between Wednesday, December 7 and Friday, December 9.
He said Governor Nyesom Wike pleaded with residents and churches in the state to actively participate in the spiritual exercise.
“The fasting will involve churches and residents of the state; the essence is to seek God’s divine intervention in the election,” he said.
“We know that when we seek the face of God, He will cause our state to have a peaceful rerun election and no principality or power can stand Him.’’
