The Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, PCN has expressed dismay over fake news published in some news outlets, alleging that the newly elected Moderator of the General Assembly and Prelate of the Church, Most Rev. Ekpenyong Akpanika faulted the process that brought him to power.

The news publication alluded that Rev. Akpanika spoke in an interview on August 15 where he allegedly said that the electioneering process that elevated him to the top position was "ungodly".

On Tuesday, the Director of Information and Public Relations Affairs of the Presbyterian Church of Nigeria, Rev. Dr. Nnoke Ibe said Rev. Akpanika never granted a press interview on the said date and never made such comment on the said date.

While insisting that the new Moderator of the General Assembly and Prelate of the Church was elected through a free and transparent exercise, the church cautioned that anything Rev. Akpanika has said in the past should not be taken out of context.

According to Rev. Ibe, the Church has over the years maintained a stringent pattern in choosing its leadership which avails delegates the opportunity to vote their choices without any form of inducements.

"We are using this medium to make it clear that the Prelate never granted any press interview nor did he speak to any member of the press on the said date. We, therefore, wonder where that interview was held or where the Prelate might have made that embarrassing statement.

"We further clarify that whatever the Prelate might have said on any other occasion should not be taken out of context. To clear any doubt, we are confident that the process that produces the leadership of the Church has always been adjudged by observers to be stringent, transparent, free, and fair.

"In the processes of her elections, the PCN prayerfully depends on the leadership of the Holy Spirit as members and ministers of proven integrity gather to vote for their choices without inducement or any form of pressure. The election that produced His Eminence Ekpenyong Akpanika followed this same time-tested procedure.

"We want to finally affirm that His Eminence has promised to continue to resist all ungodly influences and practices in the process of choosing leaders for the Church to ensure that it remains pure and guided by righteousness. According to the Prelate, elections must be devoid of ungodly, unchristian, and unethical practices."

The church, therefore, urged the general public to ignore any attempt by anybody to cast slur or aspersion on it or the person of the Prelate and Moderator, Rev. Ekpenyong Akpanika.

The Presbyterian Church assures that it will continue to show the way in conducting transparent and acceptable elections through the grace of God and showing good examples for the nation and the world to follow in the course of choosing leaders.

The new Prelate of the Presbyterian church, Most Rev Dr. Ekpeyong Akpanika was elected in Calabar Cross River state recently at the 25th General Assembly. He succeeds the outgoing Prelate, His Eminence, Nzie Nsi Eke.

Unction to function

Fraud has eaten deep into the heart of a black man, even the church is not spared.

Politics is also in Church...make we no deceive ourselves

The coming days and weeks will tell if that is true as there will be minimal rancour and grumbling and strife and divisions if indeed it's true.

May the peace of the Almighty reign Supreme

Protestantism....

Good to hear that

Good

My advice goes to the igbo, stop killing yourselves to extinction, destroying yourselves and businesses by giving yourselves seof-inflicted stay-at-home. UNKNOWN Gunmen, IPOB, ESN will be killing your people yet you'll be supporting and hailing them. .

By doing this, you'll do more harm to yourselves than Good. Shun evil with one voice and work towards progress. Listening and Building hate amongst yourselves from people whom yore enriching outside the country is slavery and wickedness to yourselves.

You're the only region, who'll hate and fight; Hausa-Fulani, Muslims, Yoruba. And yet be the first to point fingers to hausa and Fulani people. Stop the hate and embrace Peace and love as human beings that you are.

It's well with you oo

It's well!

We know it’s all a hustle and business and every employee wants to be a CEO. Them go do anything to be Oga at the top just like Shettima take sit down dey look like fowl wey never chop.

Nigeria politicians go soon enter

Oga calm down, did Jesus not called the 12 apostles..
Did God not make Samson, Samuel and co judges..
Was john not the bishop of the Early church..
Jesus Christ has his title he is the saviour and king.

Am just telling you that titles are normal depending on your calling, they were prophets in the Bible, bishops, deacon's and so on..
Do you know that "Jesus Christ".. The Christ there is a title..
Even in Matthew Jesus was called Rabbi meaning teacher.. Those titles in men of Gods name are title based on their calling.. So it is normal for men to Bear them..

Ok
