The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has sent a warning to President Muhammadu Buhari over the bill seeking to license religious preachers in Kaduna State. In a statement yesterday in Enugu, Chairman of the PFN in the State, Rev. Dr. Godwin Madu, urged President Muhammadu Buhari to call Governor Nasir El-Rufai to order as such move was capable of throwing the country into chaos.
According to Madu, “the situation in Kaduna State today calls for caution because this religious issue may bring problem in other states if not properly checked. “The licensing of preachers is not in the best interest of the nation and it is contrary to the constitution of the country. “Are we being forced to have two countries in Nigeria or two constitutions? Mr President should intervene in this matter. more after the cut....
Let there be caution and proper understanding between government, leaders and religious leaders; let us stop anything that will not make for peace.”
On the planned establishment of grazing reserves across the 36 States of the Federation, the PFN said it was a veiled plan to Islamize the country. He said, “We frown at the impending doom that may befall the nation if Mr. President fails to check the incessant attempts to Islamize the states. “We request the National Assembly not to consider such bill; let the sponsors of such bill desist from it.
