The Pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria, Lagos Island province have inaugurated sixteen new executives and PAC members to serve in various capacities in the church to promote the work of the gospel under the chairmanship of Apostle Eyinnaya Okwuonu.

Among the pastors inaugurated were Rev. Tony Samsom, Daniel Odejimi, Chinwe Kalu, Chris Ubamadu, Chinyere Egenti, Bankole Olukunle, Uzoh Ekeh, Deborah Rufia, Candy Essien, Emmauel Godfrey, Tseye Chiazor Lawrence, Francis Okukusile, Adesoji Adejuwon Soji Williams and Christopher Okhamera.

Speaking at the event which was held at Lagos the State Chairman of PFN Eyinnaya Okwuonu urged the people in government to reset and put the people first because everything is not fine with Nigeria.

“The event is a way PFN expands by creating a new province, which is really important to us because it is a new area we are exploring.

The nation has to look up to the church for the answers to the many issues we have in the country, In PFN we are sensitizing our people to be loyal to the submission to the people in power because God put them there.

Most importantly at the season we urge our members to pray for Nigeria. We also encourage our people, especially the young ones, to get their voter card and participate in politics so we can put the right people in office.

People in government should reset and put the people first because all is not fine with the nation, we should be able to rest our principles and values to get things right.

The church is going back to build the family because if we get our values right we can get good people in the political Space.

My Charge to the new inaugurates is that they should allow God do the work, let the pastor be the pastor and let the church be the church, there is a minimum of requirements of what a pastor should be, A pastor is a representative of God and people respect him, If you fell below that standard, you have failed the people and God.

There are certain things people do that they cannot do, they should live a life that is above board, a live that is expected of them.” He said

Also speaking the Lagos Island Province Chairman of PFN Tony Samson said that the task of forging unity and fostering fellowship within the Pentecostal body is onerous but very essential for the health and growth of the church of Christ.

“Forging unity and fostering fellowship within the Pentecostal body is onerous but very essential for the health and growth of the church of Christ, therefore on this auspicious occasion of the inauguration of PFN Lagos Island Province and its executive officers, I ask for your support and constant prayers.

We always encourage our members to participate in Nation building through performing their civic duties during the time of election to make sure they vote their conscience, we urge them to play their part. The Church has done more in nation building than people imagine but they don’t make noise about it.” He said
