Category:  Nigeria News

Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), has disowned the “Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria” who met with the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ahmed Bola Tinubu on Friday in Abuja. 

Reacting to the meeting through a telephone interview on Sunday in Kaduna, the deputy national secretary of the PFN, Bishop David Bakare said such a group does not exist within the PFN.

According to him, the forum is not known to the PFN, adding that “there is nothing in PFN that is regional based like Southern or Northern Pentecostal Bishops.”

Bakare who maintained that the PFN is an arm of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said the position of the fellowship on the same faith presidential ticket of the APC has not changed.

He said “the meeting between Tinubu and the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria has nothing to do with the PFN.

“I am speaking to you officially and authoritatively that the ranks of the Christian community and of course, the PFN which I represent is not broken at all.
