Tinubu’s Men Disagree Over Prayer For PDP At Jos Rally

Some of the leading supporters of APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, notably, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode and the bombastic Hon Patrick Obahiagbon have disagreed over his prayer for the PDP at the flag-off of his campaign in Jos last Tuesday.

GWG.NG reports that as he finished reading his prepared speech at the Jos rally last Tuesday that Tinubu had said God Bless the PD before he was corrected by those around him to say APC.

The action spurred several critics to flay the APC candidate as losing his memory.

However, while both men explained that Tinubu was intentional in his action, Fani-Kayode explained that the APC candidate actually prayed for his enemies as instructed by the bible, while Obahiagbon on his part disagreed.

Explaining that it was no gaffe, Hon Patrick Obahiagbon, who remarkably introduced Tinubu at the rally, said:

“At the just successfully concluded Presidential flag off rally, held in Jos, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was quoted to have said “GOD BLESS PD” before saying “GOD BLESS APC.”

“I never heard him say “GOD BLESS PDP” as had been erroneously misinterpreted in some news portals and by some mischievous commentators.

“Now the meaning of “PD: is simply “POTENT DEMOCRACY.”

“Having been forged in the furnace of democratic struggles over the years, what was wrong in apotheosising and paying glowing tributes to the “Potency of Democracy” on such an occasion?

“So all Asiwaju said and meant was “GOD BLESS THE POTENCY OF DEMOCRACY…GOD BLESS APC”; but as always, he has been misinterpreted again.”

Also explaining but differently, on the prayer for PDP by Tinubu, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, the head of the new media in the campaign in giving his view on his twitter handle late on Wednesday, said:

Bible says “pray for your enemies & show them love for it is like heaping coals of fire on their head: in doing so the Lord will REWARD you.” Glad that BAT prayed for PDP. We repay their EVIL with GOOD so that, as the Bible says, “evil will never depart from their households”.
