The Chairman of the Oyo State
chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) and founder and
Presiding Bishop of Victory International Church worldwide, Bishop Taiwo Victor
Adelakun, has reacted to by the Director General of Buhari Campaign Organization,Governor
Rotimi Amaechi that N6 billion was given
to some pastors by the Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria (PDP) to campaign
against the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Adelakun, who stated this during
the Founder’s day ceremony of the Bible Society of Nigeria, held at Molete
Baptist Church, yesterday, insisted that “there is no N6bn given to any pastor
anywhere because the person who made the allegation cannot point to anyone in
particular, and as such, there is no substance in it.”
According to Adelakun, the
submission was made at the end of the 13th Biennial Conference of the PFN, held
at The Redeemed Evangelical Mission national headquarters in Lagos, stating
that “there is no substance in the allegation.”
At the PFN conference, which
concluded during the weekend, President Goodluck Jonathan, who was represented
by the Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, stated that the prayers of
Nigerians have served as the force behind the nation’s unity.
According to Jonathan, “I am
aware of the fact that without God, Nigeria will not be here today. I thank
Nigerians for their constant prayers for the country. As we move in the
direction of moving the country forward, we should make sure that the word and
kingdom of God is preached.”
The President of the PFN,
Reverend Felix Omobude, said it was not a coincidence that the conference was
holding at a crucial time in the history of Nigeria and as such, “it must
remind us of our responsibility to stand in the gap for our nation and guide
her in the right direction.As the general elections approach, we declare that
only the will of God shall prevail over our land and that peace and prosperity
shall continue to be the portion of Nigerians.”
