Edo Guber: CAN holds prayer session for successful, violence-free election

Ahead of Saturday’s Governorship election, the Edo State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has organised a prayer session for a violence-free and successful election in the state.

DAILY POST reports that the association organised the prayers on Thursday in Benin City.

Speaking at the prayer session, Apostle Irekpono Omoike, the State Chairman of CAN, charged the electorate to vote for the candidate of their choice.

Omoike, said the prayers become imperative, particularly against the backdrop of several threats arising from the political campaigns in respect of the gubernatorial election.

According to him, Edo is known to be peaceful and the prayer session was to intercede so that a credible candidate with the fear of God, who would love the people and respect constituted authorities, especially traditional institutions, would emerge the winner of the election.

“The prayer is to have a governor who would uphold the tenet of integrity which is the benchmark of sustainable governance in the state right from the Midwest and Bendel eras”, he said.

The CAN chairman urged the people to embrace peace before, during and after the election, adding that elections should not be seen as a do-or-die affair.

The prayer session which featured prominently all the Christian denominations in Benin, was also targeted to bring peace and wade off untimely deaths, attacks, and other forms of electoral infractions in the state.

Members of the association drawn from the 18 Local Government Areas in the state included Pastor Itua Ighodalo, the younger brother to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, guber candidate, Asue Ighodalo, the Secretary, Edo State Christian Pilgrim Welfare Board, Aigboje Irabor among others.

N15m EFCC bribery: Bobrisky must appear before Reps – VeryDarkMan [VIDEO]

Social media activist, Martins Ortse, also known as VeryDarkMan, on Friday, declared that popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, must appear before the House of Representatives investigative committee.

Reacting to the latest video by Bobrisky cautioning Nigerians against fighting their helpers on Instagram, VeryDarkMan said the crossdresser has no reason not to appear before the committee because the footage has shown that he’s okay.

Posting on Instagram, VDM as he’s also referred to, said the House of Representatives committee conducting the hearing had summoned all parties involved in the matter on October 21, Monday.

Recently, VDM had released an audio of Bobrisky claiming to have allegedly bribed EFCC officials with the sum of N15 million.

During his conversation, Bobrisky also claimed not to have spent his six-month jail term in Kirikiri prison due to the influence of his godfather.

The revelation led to an investigative hearing by the House of Representatives, but Bobrisky failed to appear before the committee.

However, VeryDarkMan said: “In response to this video from Bobrisky, Nigerians can all see that he’s okay and we have all been invited again on October 21 to appear before the House of Representatives for further continuation of the investigative hearing.

“You must present yourself on Monday because we now know that you are okay and not what he was saying during the last hearing that he was ill.

“On Monday, we will know what really happened because people think the matter is dead, but I’m pushing harder to ensure that my lawyer, Adeyanju gets a date which we now have. So, on Monday Nigerians should expect one or two things in the House of Reps committee.”
