The Rivers Government has declared a
three-day fasting to seek God’s intervention for peace and order in the
state, ahead of the Dec. 10 rerun elections.
Austin Tam-George, the state Commission for Information, stated this in a statement he issued on Monday in Port Harcourt.
According to the commissioner, the fasting will span between Wednesday, December 7 and Friday December 9.
He said that Gov. 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. 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,’’ he said.
He enjoined Rivers people to engage in acts capable of promoting peace during the election.
The Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) fixed December 10 for rerun elections into national and state assembly positions in the state.
