Gatekeepers News reports that Wale Oke, the National President of PFN, who gave the warning, vowed to mobilise its members against voting for any party with a Muslim-Muslim ticket in the 2023 election.
While declaring Sunday, June 26, 2022, as a PVC Day in all its churches nationwide,
Oke said the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Lagos, on Thursday, declared Sunday, June 26, 2022, as a PVC Day in all its churches nationwide.
He noted that members would be made mandated to show their PVCs before entering the church and those without PVCs would be directed to go out and get theirs before the deadline.
The PFN Chairman further stated that the association was not against Muslim-Muslim tickets due to religion but based on fairness and equity.
According to him, the 2023 election carries the potential to unite Nigeria across ethnic and religious lines and can scatter the nation if things are not done properly.
Oke said, “A Christian-Christian and Muslim-Muslim ticket will not work for Nigeria. Muslim-Muslim ticket is unfair, it means over 54 percent of the Christian populace will be marginalised.
“If all that the church has said and a party did not listen to our counsel, they will meet us at the poll, we will be waiting for them.
“The voters’ apathy that has been the issue will not count in this election. After PVC Sunday, we will deliberate and provide a clear direction for the church in collaboration with CAN so that we can deliver block votes to a candidate that will unite this nation, a party that will not encourage the killing of Deborah.
“We will give all parties a fair chance. We are setting a high-powered member committee to meet with all parties on how they will deal with insecurity and others.
“We want a just nation that caters for all its citizens no matter the religion; we encourage all believers to register and get their PVCs and wait for the instruction.”
