Why Tinubu prayed for PDP in APC campaign rally – Fani-Kayode

The former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has revealed the reason why the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu prayed for the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Jos, Plateau State.

Femi Fani-Kayode, who is a spokesman of the APC presidential campaign council said the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu prayed for the PDP in accordance with biblical teachings.

Newsflash Nigeria had reported that the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, suffered a gaffe while speaking at the flag-off of his campaign in Plateau state, mistakenly praying for the PDP.

The rally was held at the Rwang Pam township stadium in Jos, the capital city of Plateau.

While concluding his speech, Tinubu said: “God bless PDP…” and quickly corrected it to “God bless APC.”

“God bless PD… APC. God bless APC. APC. God bless APC. We will have the victory. God bless you,” he said.

Video clips of the event, which captured the former Lagos Governor mistaking the PDP for APC, have been trending on all social media platforms.

Reacting to insinuations by some Nigerians that age was telling on the APC candidate, Fani-Kayode said in a tweet on Thursday that Tinubu’s action was divine.

He wrote, “The Bible says ‘pray for your enemies and show them a 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’.”
