Ahead of the judgement of the Supreme Court on the Plateau State governorhip election, Muslim faithful in the state on Wednesday organised a special prayer session for Governor Caleb Mutfwang.
Mutfwang, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was sacked by the Court of Appeal but he is challenging the decision at the Supreme Court.
The Muslim faithful said they are asking God to give the governor the wisdom and ability to lead Plateau well.
The special prayer, held at the Jos Central Mosque, had Muslim faithful from all the 17 Local Government Areas of the state in attendance.
A Muslim leader, Mallam Sani Ababukar, said that the special prayer session was first of its kind in the state.
He said, “As Muslims, we believe in the power of the Qur’an and we turn to it in times of need or difficulties.
“So we have gathered here to recite key verses of the Qur’an and to seek God’s face toward the success of the current administration in our dear state.
“The governor has hit the ground running and the people are already reaping the dividends of democracy, so, he needs our prayers to keep on with the good works.
“This session is also symbolic, to show the whole world that the Muslim Ummah in Plateau love the governor and are in support of his administration.”
Also speaking, Alhaji Aminu Abdullahi from Jos North LGA, said they are also praying for a favourable judgement at the Supreme Court for the governor.
