The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has revisited the controversial issue of the All Progressives Congress’ Muslim-Muslim ticket of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and Kashim Shettima.
It insists it remains unacceptable, saying it cannot be justified.
In a statement, its General Secretary, Cosmos Ilechukwu, “The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria reaffirms its position that the same-faith ticket can, in no way, be justified, as it is not in the interest of Nigeria, as it further jeopardises the prospects of peaceful coexistence and building of a united nation.
“PFN has never been in the business of endorsing candidates and will not be doing so in the 2023 elections. However, it will continue to mobilise the church to ensure full participation in the political process by all Christians.
“The fellowship will continue to be open-minded and broad-minded, leaving the door of engagement with all political parties open, so that all the issues that are holding back the development and unity of Nigeria can be comprehensively addressed.”
