2023: PFN reject Muslim-Muslim presidential candidates

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), has rejected has said the body of Christ would not vote Muslim-Muslim presidential candidates in 2023.

The National President of PFN, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, who made this known on Saturday, said that Christians will not support any political party that fields Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 polls.

The cleric stated this in Osogbo, Osun State, during the celebration of 30th anniversary of PFN in the state.

Oke, in a statement, by the state Director of Media, Bishop Seun Adeoye explained that Nigeria is a secular state and that Christians will not fold their arms to allow a situation where the president and the vice-president would be Muslims.

According to him, it would also be wrong for a Muslim to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari after eight years as president.
“The Church in Nigeria is saying no to a Muslim-Muslim ticket. We are going to mobilise the church against such political party. PFN has 65 million people and we will vote against such party.”
He said: “Obasanjo handed over to Yar’adua, Yar’adua to Jonathan and Jonathan to Buhari and who else should Buhari hand over to if not a Christian?”
Oke called on all PFN members to ensure they possess their Permanent Voter Cards (PVC) and should vote out any bad government.
