Campaign Flag-Off: Tinubu’s ‘God Bless PDP’ Prayer Prophetic ― PDP
Tamarauemi Ebimini
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has observed that the apparently unintended prayer by the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, at the flag-off of his campaign in Jos on Tuesday is a confirmation of his innermost conviction that the PDP represents the hope and aspiration of the majority of Nigerians for a secure, prosperous future under a united country.
While addressing his supporters at the rally, the former Lagos State governor had ostensibly made a faux pas by praying to God to bless the rival PDP when he meant to mention APC.
He however corrected himself by saying “God bless APC.”
But a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the main opposition party, Debo Ologunagba, maintained that the fact that Tinubu made the prayer “during his flopped Presidential Campaign Flag-off in Jos, Plateau State is a pointer that it was not a slip of tongue but a divine proclamation that the hope for Nigeria, which he harped on can only come from the PDP.”
The PDP added: “It is instructive to note that the APC Presidential Candidate had earlier in his address, admitted that Nigerians were “in distress” under his failed APC but that hope is on the way.
“Since Asiwaju Tinubu’s prophetic blessing on the PDP, our Party has been receiving flurries of calls, solidarity messages and visits from key members of the APC, who believe that his prayer is a divine act of God to point the nation to the right direction”.
