PORT HARCOURT—THE Pentecostal Fellowship
of Nigeria, PFN, has described as unfortunate
Libyan leader, Col. Muammar Gaddafi ’s call for
break-up of Nigeria along religious lines.
Speaking in Port Harcourt to mark his 48th
birthday, President of Rivers State chapter of
the PFN, Apostle Zilly Aggrey, said the call by
the Libyan President was unacceptable to
both Christians in the north and southern
part of the country.
He said Christians would continue to take
steps to promote national unity.
“Gaddafi’s comment is one of the most
unfortunate statements we have heard from
the President of a country on another
country. Nigeria is a country that should not
be divided. Gaddafi ’s statement is not
acceptable to both the Christians in the north
and south, ” Aggrey said.
Aggrey said he had to drop the idea of a
lavish birthday party because of the
massacre of over 500 Christians in Jos.
He said: “ I had wanted to celebrate my
birthday in a lavish form but events between
January to date in the country have not been
palatable. Imagine burying 400 people in a
mass grave in one day.
“I thank God for being alive. But I am
mourning with the people of Plateau state.
We have never seen this level of man
inhumanity to man.
