The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, has called on President Bola Tinubu to fight the battle of Nigerians and not against them.
PFN President, Bishop Francis Oke made this call on Thursday during a three-day retreat organized by the national leadership of the Christian body.
Bishop Oke lauded President Tinubu for the spread of political offices, noting that it was s a clear departure from the lopsided appointments by the immediate past administration.
The PFN boss said, “Nigerians are already traumatized. The trauma was inflicted on them by the immediate past administration. I will advise President Tinubu to relieve Nigerians of their pains. He should fight their battles and not fight them. Now that election is over, he should try to bring everyone together and not fight any perceived political opponents.
“President Tinubu should know that Nigerians are in pain. For the past eight years, it has been very traumatic for Nigerians. They have suffered all manners of evil ranging from kidnapping, and terrorism to the killing of innocent people. Relieve Nigerians of their trauma and pains, don’t add to it.”
“Nigerians are fighting various kinds of war. We are fighting an economic war and a war of survival. Tinubu should not mark any group of people as a target. If you treat them well they will serve you well.”
While commenting on the high cost of living, the cleric urged the President not to exclude any group based on ethnic or other considerations saying, “Bring everyone together so that we can have lasting peace.”
