STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT OSINBAJO TO PENTECOSTAL FELLOWSHIP: WE ARE PURVEYORS OF JUSTICE, VOICES OF PEACE *Conveys President Buhari's congratulatory message to outgoing PFN President *VP thankful for solidarity visits that "encouraged me", honoured with award At a defining moment in the history of the country, the church must stand as the light of the nation, and Christians as the purveyors of justice and voices of peace, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN. Prof. Osinbajo gave the admonition yesterday at the 16th Biennial Delegate Conference of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) held at the Michael Okpara Square in Enugu, Enugu State. Speaking on the theme of the conference “the unquenchable light”, Prof. Osinbajo said “we must bear this gospel of Jesus Christ knowing that it is the beacon of hope and succour for our nation. As bearers of the gospel we are the reconcilers-in-chief.” According to the Vice President, “we are the salt to the wounds of a nation, we are the voices of peace and unity where division and strife have arisen. We are the purveyors of justice, for all of those who are disempowered. The good news is that this light is unquenchable.” Explaining the point, the Vice President said “what is this light? It is the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the son of God, who came to this world to pay the price for our sins so that we can attain eternal life in peace and joy. This gospel is the power of God for the healing and transformation of men and nations.” “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. It is the Wisdom of God,” Prof. Osinbajo added quoting the Scriptures. The Vice President had earlier conveyed the felicitations of President Muhammadu Buhari to the outgoing PFN President, Revd Felix Omobude on the successful and glorious completion of his tenure in office and congratulated the incoming President, Bishop Francis Wale Oke. Prof. Osinbajo also thanked the out-going President, Rev. Omobude for his invaluable service to the PFN especially in the manner he handled the affairs of the body “with impeccable integrity, fatherly understanding, maturity and Godly insight.” On the stewardship of the outgoing PFN leadership, Prof. Osinbajo said “under your able leadership and in collaboration with the Christian Association of Nigeria led by our brother, Rev. Dr. Supo Ayokunle, I received several solidarity visits. I am eternally indebted to you for those visits which greatly strengthened and encouraged me." Commending the smooth transition in the leadership of the PFN, Prof. Osinbajo said “I must commend the smooth electoral process leading to the emergence of the President and his deputy unopposed.” “This is as it should be. The PFN certainly has a lot to teach us, politicians. We pray that the Lord will give this executive good success in Jesus name,” he said. In acknowledgment of his stand and support for the Christian faith and exemplary service to humanity, the PFN conferred on the Vice President a special award of the Defender of Faith. Accepting the award, the Vice President thanked the PFN for the recognition, noting that “there can be no more coveted preferment than that conferred by one's brethren," and adding in prayer that "you all will receive not just honour from men here on earth but in the end also from the Lord God Almighty, in Jesus name.” Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State also received the PFN award of the Defender of Faith at the event. Aside Bishop Wole Oke who was elected as PFN President, Archbishop John Praise Daniel, the Presiding Archbishop of the Dominion Chapel International Churches was also elected Vice President. The Vice President who had attended the Federal Executive Council meeting before traveling to Enugu yesterday, returned to Abuja last night.

All this jobless criminals beating war drum are actually cowards hiding inside their step dad's basement. No one with a good job or doing business to provide for himself and his families will want war. If you don't have nothing to do, poverty is always knocking on your door. Go and look for manual labor stop threatening us with war. We don't want war. But if you want war with Nigeria, there's one thing I can promise you, so help me God: someone else will raise your sons and daughters. Namidi cownu and Igboho are Thugs/Killers like Shekau they just wanted to lure poor innocent people into early graves. Stop been stupid, Nigeria is moving in bad directions for too long until Buhari comes to Govern. The criminal politicians wants to send poor innocent people to die, while their children are studying abroad. You people are very lucky Nigeria is a democratic country. Go and register so that you can vote. Stop taking weeds all day inside basement and expecting Government officials to come and feed you. If you're just a troll, doing business, working for the Government or private. And beating war drums on social media Because you are bored, becareful you will be arrested and God save you. Go and look for girlfriend and chat stop bringing problems upon yourself and you poor families 2 Likes |

I hope he also knows that peace also the involves fighting any person or group that undermines our safety and freedom. The people of God have been fighting for freedom and security in order to create peace. - Moses led the Israelites to fight the Egyptians for the people of God to go. - Moses and Joshua led the Israelites to fight enemies who stood between them and the promised land. - Israelites kings fought battles to protect their personal and national integrity. - David killed Goliath who threatened the peace of the children of God. And finally, Jesus said he who doesn't have a sword should not mind selling his clothes to buy one, showing how important it is to fight for your freedom, with God on your side. At this time in Nigeria history when the peace and security of people is being breached by killer herdmen, bandits and terrorists, we people of God should do as David did, that is: Pray for victory against the ethnic/religious enemies, and take up any weapon we have and confront them. God gave victory to a David who did not only pray, but also took action against the enemy. We have prayed enough, it is time to ACT. 2 Likes |

This is a good development. We cant erase religion from African culture. Religion is made to straighten and teach us the direction of good conduct and morals. VP Osibanjo has demonstrated a legacy that no man could break in a rush. Congratulations to PFN |

No race has the beauty of spoken words like the black race. Speaking is stressful for the Asians. If you put a Japanese man in a situation of having a long talk b4 having his way, he prefers to kill you or commit suicide. Here in Africa, talking is our only gift. No intellectual capacity to walk d talk. Story story everyday. 2 Likes |

My problem with most religious group is that they act like bigots while pretending to be purveyor of justice. How can you be swearing and indirectly insulting your none members, and yet call your group a purveyor of justice ? Religion is one of the major problems we are having in this country; Christians and Muslims respectively will tell their members that with Jesus and Allah, their problems are solved, yet they will come privately and be blaming the government for their individual problems; perhaps not remembering what their pastors or imam told them during congregation. What a delusion ? |
