Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) Shops for New President to Replace Oritsejafor

By ADMIN 5:38 AM ,
 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.

Islamic banking: PFN urges Jonathan to sack Sanusi

By ADMIN 11:52 AM , , , Leave a Comment
Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, yesterday, urged President Goodluck Jonathan to sack Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Malam Lamido Sanusi, over the controversial Islamic banking system.

PFN Vice-President, South-West zone, Bishop Francis Wale Oke, said that Sanusi had lost the capacity to regulate the nation’s banking industry.

He said: “Having become a promoter of a sensitive and volatile issue as the Islamic banking project, we have lost confidence in the CBN boss.”

Bishop Oke said the Islamic banking project was capable of eroding the nation’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.

He said: “The secular status of the country still remains non-negotiable as provided for in the 1999 Costitution. The approach of the CBN governor should be reviewed, especially as he is the governor of an Islamic bank.”

Bishop Oke cautioned Islamic clerics threatening fire and brimstone over Sanusi’s banking system to be “mindful of the consequences of their unguarded inflammatory utterances.”
