It has been revealed that the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN)
is currently shopping for a candidate to occupy the president’s
position as the tenure of the incumbent, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, will
expire in February 2013.
In 2010, Pastor Oritsejafor had indicated his intention to relinquish
his position as PFN president owing to increased activities and
commitments, as the head of the Christian Association of Nigeria, but he
was asked to complete his tenure to promote unity within the body.
Now, with his tenure gradually coming to an end, and his desire not
to seek re-election, the coast is clear for interested candidates to
express their interest and present their unique selling points to get
what is considered as the most influential position in the Pentecostal
movement.
According to the Saturday PUNCH, a document made available by a
reliable PFN source, said that Pastor Wale Adefarasin, Pastor Wale Oke,
Rev Felix Omobude were among the frontrunners for the position. Election
into the soon-to-be-vacant seat is scheduled to hold in February.
