Ahead of the 2023 election, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Rivers State Chapter, declared Sunday, June 26, 2022, a Permanent Voters Card Sunday (PVCS) to create more awareness on the need for all Christians of Pentecostal churches to register and collect their PVCs in the ongoing nationwide voters registration exercise.
Chairman of PFN in Rivers State, Bishop Minaibi Dagogo Jack made this known while addressing newsmen in the Port Harcourt, saying that the decision was taken at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Thursday, June 16, 2022, in Lagos.
Bishop Dagogo Jack said PFN leadership frowned at the continued incidences of killings and kidnapping of Christians and others across the country.
According to him, PFN NEC remains committed to its stance for the interest of justice that, ‘No Muslim/Muslim Tickets for political patties towards the 2023 general elections should be allowed as it’s against the constitution”
He added that the Rivers State PFN is in full support of a Christian/Muslim ticket, which has been the stance of the organization’s umbrella body, CAN.
The State PFN chairman stressed that in view of the ongoing political permutations, NEC directed that Sunday, June 26, 2022, be declared, ‘PVC, every SUNDAY’, for every member of PFN family to show their PVC before entering their church/ministry, saying that such exercise should be communicated to the state PFN chairmen, who will in turn communicate same to the national headquarters.
Bishop Dagogo Jack, also advised those that are yet to go for their PVCs to see the need to do so immediately now that the window and door are still open to all.
He admonished all PFN leaders and members not to give up hope, but to continue to pray, believing that Jesus never comes late. According to him, “the PFN NEC shall communicate to all concerning it’s resolve on the 2023 general elections after a proposed leadership summit later in the year.”
He expressed hope that God will do something positive to rescue the country from all calamities.
