Mind Your Business – Keyamo slams PFN For Comments About APC

Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Festus Keyamo, has slammed the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) for distancing itself from the group of clergymen who met with Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Abuja recently.

PFN deputy national secretary, David Bakare, insisted that the body is against a Muslim-Muslim ticket while adding that the group has no affiliation with members of the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria who met with Bola Tinubu, APC presidential candidate, on Friday.

In his reaction, Keyamo said Bakare should leave politics out of religion as he has no right to publicly question what the party does.

“The PFN are not members of our party. They should go and vote that day,” he said in an interview with Channels Television on Sunday.

“They should not be coming to question the decision of our party publicly. The purpose of pastors or their duty is to lead people to heaven not to lead people to [presidential] villa.

“If I go to church every Sunday, I want to hear the sermon of God and I don’t want to hear the sermon of politics or who should rule me.

“I want to hear the sermon of God and what will lead me to salvation and not what to lead me to the villa.”

Asides from the PFN, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has also condemned the selection of Kashim Shettima, a Muslim, as the running mate to Tinubu.
