The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has called on Nigerians to use the period of the country’s Independence anniversary for sober reflection and to embrace the spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation.
The PFN independence goodwill message by its National President, Dr. Felix Omobude, urged Nigerians to eschew all forms of discord and take on the task of nation-building in one accord.
The message read, “Let us show love to one another as we let peace and justice prevail in our land. Tendencies that tend to pull us apart are infinitesimal when placed side by side with the interests we share as a people.
“In as much as we have made some positive strides as a nation, the challenges that face our country today are daunting, to put it mildly. Nigeria is presently under siege with a wave of violence threatening to capsize the ship of state. Evil is spiraling out of control, threatening to envelop the land.
“The forces of darkness are manifesting in different dimensions, with wanton loss of lives, kidnapping, rape and erosion of societal values becoming the order of the day.”
