OSUN: Don’t involve us in your campaign, says PFN

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has warned politicians to desist
from using its name or members to campaign for votes at either the
Osun polls or any other political election the country.
The association said that it had observed with concern, the recent
behavior of some politicians in the country, particularly in Osun
State, who were “taking delight in the name-dropping” of some of its
members in their election campaigns.

The National President of PFN, Rev. Dr. Felix Omobude, in a press
statement signed by his media aide, Deacon Raphael Okhiria, said that
PFN members
had no reason to support one political party or candidates of
political parties against the others because the group had a duty to
remain neutral in all partisan political activities, whether at the
local, state or federal levels.
Rev. Omobude, therefore, urged politicians to “stop dragging PFN and its
members into their political campaigns.
The cleric, however, called on christians to continue to ignore
attempts by some
politicians to confuse them about who to vote for during elections.
He said, “The PFN and its members are
non–partisan and as such should not be dragged into politics directly or
indirectly.
“I call on all christians in Nigeria to continue to freely vote for
the candidates of their choice because the PFN and its leadership have
no preferred candidates.”
