Gbenga Abiola, the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate for Agege Constituency 01, has organised an interfaith prayer session for the party’s candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Mr Abiola said the session was organised to seek peace, divine guidance, protection and victory for all APC candidates at various levels.

Mr Opeifa also urged members to remain united and committed to the party’s ideals while mobilising support for all APC candidates.
