AS I was watching millions of Muslims on the prayer ground on the 27th November 2009, making supplications unto the Almighty Allah, I had to join them in my little way to mandate unto Almighty God, to mercifully step into the judicial stalemate in Osun and Ekiti States.

“I invoked the spirit of the Almighty Allah/God to physically come down, during the last Eid-El-Kabir in Osun State with His reward and pay all of us, according to the works, thoughts and actions of our hands”. I started murmuring. “The time is now Allah/God, for the wicked are swallowing the weak. While the weak have all retreated back to fate, the callousness of our leaders, headed by siege governor, General Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has turned monsters and blood-sucking draculars, encouraging arson, looting, maiming and all forms of disorders. Laws enforcement agencies have become wicked and tyrannical in the execution of their official duties.

General Oyinlola has capitalized on the on-going judicial workers strike to scuttle the new Election Petition Tribunal going on in Osun State for the past five weeks and had pronounced openly that the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), would NOT resume until the end of his tenure. So Allah/God, the time is now, get off the throne of MERCY for the throne of judgment and avenge our woes on, INEC, Police, General Olagunsoye Oyinlola and the PDP in Osun State in particular and Nigeria in general——” I started shouting while soliloquizing.

“What is the problem Baba,” asked my neighbour, who entered without my knowledge. “Brother, we need prayers, for the fervent prayers of children of God/Allah availed so much: We need to pray for these people, who would not allow us to have a say on who govern us. We need to pray for INEC at a period like this” I quickly responded.

My neighbour now sat by my side as others joined us in the discussion, which later snowballed into fervent prayers to Allah/God.

My people, let me give you a little background of what bothers me about this vagabonds in power in this country. INEC proposed a budget of N47.2 billion for the year 2010. Now, let us consider the analysis of this budget, as I would quote INEC verbatim.

A whooping sum of N11 billion is for honoraria (payment of allowances for professional services), N78m for 2010 bye-elections ballot papers; N2 billion for 2011 election result forms; N1.18 billion for monitoring and security; N353.4m for publicity and advertisement; N370 million on voters education project etc.

These are all the funds INEC needed to allocate votes to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the re-run elections and bye-elections in 2010. These are all INEC needed to make them comfortable as they operate from the inner room of Aso Rock, awarding electoral victories to blood-suckers and killers. INEC needed this bogous budget proposal and yet it is being rubber-stamped by Omisore and Isiaka Adeleke, the duo that dictate and change dates for re-run elections in Osun State at will.

The situation here is that Omisore MUST be returned at ALL COST to rubber stamp the bogus budget proposal of INEC, which gives Iwu more than enough opportunity to loot silly and the “Serubawon” of this world, Isiaka Adeleke must put all efforts into it and see that Omisore is returned at all cost! I must warn the trio, Omisore, Adeleke and Iwu, that their monkey must beware of the type of tree to climb, as they might climb tree habited by poisonous insects. Taking Osun people for a ride might NOT be possible this time around.
It is for this and many other reasons that I feel strongly that INEC needs prayers during the last Eid-El-Kabir season.

It is glaringly clear; that the senate president, Mr. David Mark, has more than a passing interest in the re-run election of Omisore and that was why the name of Omisore, a sacked senator, still appeared prominently during the last senate retreat in Enugu. For the fact that the fate of Isiaka Adetunji Adeleke, also hangs in the balance at the Court of appeal in Ibadan, all hands must be on deck to return Omisore at all costs. It is also glaringly clear that, the agent of the devil to be used in all these atrocities is the INEC. It was the same INEC that allocated illegal senatorial seats to David Mark, Omisore and Isiaka Adeleke in the first instance, as none of them won their seats in a free and fair election. So this agent of the devil, INEC needs our prayers.

If we consider the gravity of the damage INEC had done to the nation’s nascent democracy, making reference to Ekiti and Osun States in particular, every living human being must start praying for INEC.

Refreshing your memory, I will refer you to the case of Osun State during the, governorship election held on 14th April 2007 just like other states in Nigeria. The people of the state spoke with one voice by giving their mandate to Engineer Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola of the Action Congress (AC). The PDP and their thugs maimed, killed, stole ballot boxes at gun-point, with unprecedented violence in TEN (10) Local Government Council Areas of the state. Violence even marred the election in a particular council area, Boripe, that INEC office in the area was set ablaze. Inspite if all these, fictitious figures were still allocated to the ruling PDP and other political parties.

At the end of it all, Rev. John Dansu, the INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner awarded victory to Oyinlola. Since then, life has never been the same in Osun State again, as people wonder, how a supposedly sane person, a Reverend, with that powerful Biblical name John, could descend so low, to the level of insulting the integrity of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, by robbing Rauf to pay Lagun, leaving us all in Osun to lick our wounds from 2007 till date. Please, we need to pray for them even on daily basis. If we consider the good governance, which Aregbesola would have given us in the past three years, the number of unemployed that would have been employed, the socio-economic loss we have encountered in the state, we need to pray for all INEC staff in Osun State.

Honestly, we cannot estimate the loss and hardship that the actions of INEC has brought to Osun State, as only God knows how much of the State’s fund unlawfully spent on the Election Petition Tribunal by Oyinlola and that is the reason why poverty has made Osun State its abode, as nothing is no longer working in the state. Due to the intentional wicked actions of INEC. Only God knows the number of causalities caused by hunger and want in the state. Many of the state’s residents are dying instalmentally as a result of poor health policies of the government in power in the state.

Let us now consider the unexpected expenses on the INEC electoral fraud, which led to the election petition filed by the robbed Action Congress’ candidate, Engineer Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola, to the Election Petition Tribunal.

The new Election Petition Tribunal is the third judicial step, which ought not to have happened in the first instance, if INEC had been faithful and patriotic in the conduct of the elections. The fund expended on the three election petition stages so far is enough to set-up three fantastic manufacturing Industries, in each of the three senatorial districts.

I want all and sundry to have all these facts in mind. We can only imagine the economic progress that such industries would have brought to Osun State. Despite all these unexpected expenses caused by INEC’s wicked actions and inactions, Aregbesola’s family still gives free health services to Irogbo-Ijesa communities.

With all these facts, I want each prospective prayer warrior, to imagine what Osun State is losing daily, by not having the rightful winner of the April 14th 2007 governorship elections in Abere and it is with this background that I want us to pray fervently for INEC and all INEC staff in Osun State.

All prospective prayer warriors should bear it in mind that, if punishment for offences are numerous and minor penalties are applied, the country will have many criminals. Hence we need to pray against breeding of criminal in INEC as the foundation for a just, egalitarian society is FREE and FAIR elections. A lawless INEC will always produce controversial elections and will eventually lead to anarchy, so they (INEC) need our prayers!

Now, we can go to the prayer proper. Let all MUSLIMS hold their Koran and TESBIR, and CHRISTIANS their Bibles, the Traditional worshippers should hold Iron Rods as we pray as follows:

(a) All the good fortunes in the life of all INEC staff that took part in falsifying election results of 14th April 2007, thereby awarding victories to undeserved “winners”, should be voided and falsified by Allah/God and the god of Iron.

(b) As the falsification of election results of 14th April had caused untowards hardship and even installmental death to many innocent residents of Osun State, hardship of unimaginable dimension should fall on ALL INEC Staff that took part in the falsification of the election results of 14th April 2007.

(c) The unrepentant INEC staff that took part in the falsification of election result of 14th April 2007, and still plan to falsify the rerun elections, slated for 12th December 2009 in Osogbo Local government and Ife/Ijesa senatorial district, should have ALL their good fortunes and those of their children and their generations yet-unborn scuttled by the devil and may they never live to witness the goodness of the land of Osun State for ever.

(d) As INEC staff in collaboration with some other people, pre-planning to rig the Ife/Ijesa senatorial district and Osogbo Local Government re-run election, God/Allah and the god of Iron, will shower them with death by the sword. As the Bible says, those that kill by sword will surely die same.

(e) Let us cry to Allah/God and the traditional worshipers to cry to the ‘god’ of Iron, to frustrate the lives of all our oppressors and their generations yet-unborn.

(f) I strongly appeal to all those who believe in the power of prayers, to take this matter seriously. Let this prayer be the first in the morning and the last before we go to bed. As law-abiding people of Osun State, Allah/God will definitely answer us speedily.

Let God arise and His enemies be scattered, is the final unchangeable word of God in the Bible.
We should also have it in mind that many other groups need our prayers. These groups include the Nigerian Police, Pastors, Imams, traditional rulers and the last but not the least those in government of Osun State.
If you want to react to this prayer request for INEC, please send Text messages to the following numbers 08079908636, 08083273135 or E-mail oyagbileisrael2007@yahoo.com

Remember! It might be your prayer that Allah/God needs to change the horrifying situation in Osun State.
