Northern Governors have called for sustained fervent prayers
against banditry and kidnapping in Nigeria.
Niger Governor Abubakar Bello spoke on their behalf on
Saturday at a symposium on the role of Imams in ensuring credible and peaceful
elections.
Represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Ahmed
Matane, Bello said security agencies alone cannot do it
The governor stated that prayers by religious leaders would
help to address the ugly trend, NAN reports.
All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in
Niger, Umar Bago, corroborated Bello’s position.
Bago said the roles played by religious and traditional
rulers in peaceful co-existence were enormous, and they should be supported to
achieve maximum results.
Sen. Sani Musa (APC-Niger East) appealed to youths to obtain
their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and called for prayers for hitch-free polls
next year.
