The All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential campaign council spokesman, Femi Fani-Kayode, says the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu’s, prayer for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, was in accordance with bible teachings.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that Tinubu had during the Tuesday presidential campaign rally in Jos, Plateau State, mistakenly prayed for the PDP.
On all social media platforms, videos of the event that showed the former governor of Lagos mistaking the PDP for the APC have been trending.
In response to claims made by some Nigerians that the APC candidate’s advanced age was a red flag, Fani-Kayode declared in a tweet on Thursday that Tinubu’s action was divine.
He wrote, “The Bible says ‘pray for your enemies and show them love for it is like heaping coals of fire on their head: in doing so the Lord will REWARD you.’
“Glad that BAT prayed for the PDP. We repay their EVIL with GOOD so that, as the Bible says, ‘evil will never depart from their households’.”
