Supporters of former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Pantami, have reportedly resorted to prayers as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Pantami, an Islamic cleric and former minister under the administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has remained a prominent figure in Nigeria’s religious and public life.
The development comes amid growing political realignments and consultations ahead of the next general elections, with political actors and their supporters weighing their options.
However, the specific circumstances behind the supporters’ decision to intensify prayers, as well as the political objective they hope to achieve, remain unclear.
Prayers and religious gatherings have long featured in Nigeria’s political landscape, with supporters often seeking divine guidance and intervention for their preferred candidates.
Further details are needed to establish whether the prayers are connected to a specific political ambition, an ongoing dispute or a recent development involving the former minister.
