PFN Denies Endorsing LP, Peter Obi, Tells Christians Who To Vote
The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has denied endorsing the Labour Party or its presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
On Friday, the PFN National Publicity Secretary, Bishop Emmah Isong, called the rumours “fake news” on social media during the 17th Biennial Conference.
“I want you to know that nothing like that has happened in the history of the PFN.
“We have not endorsed any political party or any presidential candidate, rather what we have is the 17th Biennial Conference of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria titled, ‘More Than Conquerors,’ currently ongoing in Bayelsa state,” he said.

He stated that the conference is an opportunity for all Christians, particularly those in positions of power, to come in and fellowship with the organization, and that no candidate has been endorsed at the conference.

Isong called it “fake news” and urged well-meaning Nigerians to ignore it because it was intended to tarnish PFN’s image.
“We coincidentally had the vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, former governor Mr. Peter Obi, same day, come into fellowship with us.
“And at no point did the National President his Eminence Bishop Dr. Wale Oke, nor fathers of faith of NEC endorse any presidential candidate or political party. That has not happened. I believe whatever you have read regarding that issue is junk and fake news.”
The body urged Christians in the country to scrutinize candidate profiles and vote according to their conscience, emphasizing that it cannot compel any Christian to vote for a specific candidate.
He urged political party supporters to stop using social media to canvass votes for their candidates, adding that “political campaigns go beyond social media.”
He went on to say that PFN was not partisan and that its members belonged to various political parties.
“Therefore, we will not make the mistake of endorsement at this point.
“We have not yet and never will endorse any political candidate for the 2023 elections. We asked our members to pray, wait for the Lord, and vote according to their conscience,” he said.
