The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has dissociated itself from the meeting between the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and some Northern Bishops.
Naijaloaded recalls that the APC presidential candidate had met with the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria in Abuja last week Thursday.
Speaking at the meeting, Tinubu said his decision to pick former Governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, as his running mate was not a threat to the Christian community.
But in a television interview on Friday, the Deputy National Secretary of the PFN, Bishop David Bakare said the group that met with Tinubu is not known to the leadership of the fellowship.
He stated that the PFN was not in any way involved in the meeting between Tinubu and the Northern Bishops, stressing that such a group does not exist within its fold.
Bakare stated that fellowship was still against the Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket fielded by the ruling party for the 2023 general elections.
He said:
“The PFN is an arm of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and the position of the fellowship on the same faith presidential ticket of the APC has not changed. The meeting between Tinubu and the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria has nothing to do with the PFN.â€
