The Cross River State Chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship Of Nigeria has urged its members to vote for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate ,Professor Sandy Onor for governorship election which holds this Saturday.
The PFN disclosed this in a release signed by its Chairman, Lawrence Ekwok; General Secretary, Apostle Frank Umo and State Director Politics and Good Governance,Pastor Kyrian Ojong.
The PFN noted that the decision to support the PDP guber candidate follows the outcome of its strategic committee meeting.
They noted that “the strategy committee was mandated to interview/interact/interrogate key or major governorship candidates based on specific guidelines.
“These include character, capacity, competence, and the policies and manifestoes of the candidates and recommend to the fellowship the candidate that they are convinced will best serve the interest of Cross River State”.
The PFN noted that the strategy committee met five times, interviewed the governorship candidates of the APC, PDP and the PRP and resolved to support the candidate of the PDP.
It added that a motion to this effect was formally moved and seconded and consequently the entire leadership and membership of the PFN endorses the candidature of the PDP.
The PFN said the decision is not a one man decision but the collective decision of the entire leadership.
The PFN therefore called on all members of the PFN in its member churches across the state to vote for the PDP governorship candidate as this decision is taken in the best interest of the state.
