The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has turned to spiritual measures for fear of election malpractice ahead of the upcoming local government elections in Jigawa State.
A source within the party told DAILY POST that some party members have organized special prayer sessions across various localities.
It includes the recitation of verses from the Holy Qur’an, appealing for God’s intervention in ensuring a free, fair, and credible election.
The NNPP faithful specifically called for calamity and divine wrath to befall anyone who attempts to manipulate the election results.
“We believe that the power of God is stronger than any plan to rig the election, we are confident that He will not let injustice prevail,” the party member said.
The Jigawa State High Court sitting in Dutse had dismissed a petition filed by the NNPP and Action Democratic Party (ADP) challenging JISIEC over its election process and higher price of nomination form.
DAILY POST reported that the major opposition parties in the state, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and NNPP have filled candidates in some local government areas for the upcoming October 5, 2024 council election in Jigawa State.
