Leaders, members and supporters of the Ekiti State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have asked God to arise and scatter the All Progressives Congress (APC).

They made the call in a parody of a Christian song that they sang on Wednesday at a celebration of the third anniversary of the current governorship tenure of Ayodele Fayose.

After a lengthy address, Fayose momentarily paused to hand the microphone to a member who led the crowd in a song session. He had been expected to sing:

Let God arise and his enemies be scattered
Let God arise and his enemies be scattered
Let God arise and his enemies be scattered
Let God, Let God arise

Instead, the crowd danced and joined him in singing:

Let God arise and the APC be scattered
Let God arise and the APC be scattered

Curiously, PDP is the more scattered of the two parties. While APC has managed to maintain relative stability despite the indefinite absence of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is the UK attending to his health, PDP has been embroiled in a chairmanship supremacy battle between Ali Modu Sheriff and Ahmed Makarfi.
