Traditional rulers of major Awori towns and communities on Sunday, 13 November, 2022, organised a special prayer session for the success of the Presidential Flag-bearers of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima as well as the state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and his Deputy, Dr Kadir Obafemi Hamzat.

The prayer session took place at the Awori Obas secretariat at the Igandò-Ikotun Local Council Development Area in Ikotun.

According to the Chairman of the Awori Obas, the Ojomu of Ajiran, His Royal Majesty Oba Tijani Akinloye, the prayer session was organised to get divine support for Tinubu and his running mate, the state Governor and his Deputy as well as other APC candidates throughout the federation.

“We’ve no doubt in our mind that though Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Sanwo-Olu are the best candidates for President and Governor respectively, we also have to seek God’s favour because we can’t achieve anything without His blessings and approval,” Oba Akinloye said.

His views were corroborated by the Secretary of the Awori Obas Council and Osolo of Isolo, His Royal Majesty Oba Kabiru Agbabiaka.

“We’ve the best candidates and we are extremely happy about that but we must also tell God, call on Him to assist us. This is what we’ve come here to do today, seeking God’s favour and approval for Tinubu/Shettima and Sanwo-Olu/Hamzat,” Oba Agbalagba said.
