PFN Backs RCCG, Urges Churches To Create Political Directorate

The Director, National Directorate of Politics and Governance of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Pastor Femi Emmanuel, has backed the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) over their newly-created politics directorate.

He termed the move by RCCG as an answered prayer and not support for any political candidate. In a recent statement Emmanuel, who doubles as the Lead Pastor of Livingspring Chapel International, said, “This appointment of the RCCG is not in support of any Political candidate at all. We asked for it. I trust other fathers and leaders of the faith would soon follow suit.

“Let no one read any negative or ulterior motives to the memo from RCCG. This is at our request and it is an answered prayer for us in DPG. This is what we have been asking our GOs to do since. Many more will do so soon as we are in consultation with them.

“PFN/DPG is still at the level of building a grassroots base. We are still far from presenting candidates. Anyone talking of presenting candidates at this point does not know politics. Politics is at the grassroots. You can’t present candidates when you are not at the grassroots. You are at the back of the fence politically speaking.”
