Angered by his disqualification from senatorial race, ex-IGP Abba asks God to punish APC leaders

Frustrated by his disqualification from the senatorial race of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Suleiman Abba, former Inspector-General of Police, resorted to seeking divine help.

Abba led a surprise prayer session at the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Monday.

Abba had purchased forms to contest the Jigawa Central senatorial district primary election on the platform of the party but was disqualified shortly before the primary.

He stormed the party headquarters to express his displeasure with the leadership of the APC for
his disqualification.

Addressing journalists after this, Abba prayed to God to remove party officials who are “hell-bent to destroying the vision and legacy of the party”.

“You are aware that a list was released where I was duly cleared and another list was released without my name,” he said.

“This is not the time for too much talk; this is time for prayers and I want you to join me in this prayer. The prayer is this: Almighty God , any person copying you and your power should not be in the headquarters of this APC. Almighty God, if there is already one, you know what to do so that you don’t allow him continue copying you.

“Almighty God, any person claiming to be an officer of the APC if he will not work with the vision and mission of the APC, almighty God don’t allow him to use the demon style to destroy the party.”
