He added that “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 enjoined Rivers people to engage in acts capable of promoting peace during the election.
