A letter dated March 27, 2025, signed by the PFN National President, His Eminence, Bishop Dr Francis Wale Oke, and made available to our News Desk in Calabar, addressed to Archbishop Dr Emmah Isong, stressed that with the new appointment, Isong is to oversee PFN chairpersons and their executives in the six states of the zone.
The letter reads in part, “It gives me great pleasure to announce your appointment as the National Vice President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, South South zone.”
The letter enumerated that these six states will be under Isong’s supervision: Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River; charging him to ensure that states in his zone keep faith and pace with the goals of the National PFN.
The letter stated that part of Isong’s responsibility include, overseeing mobilization, execution and successful implementation of the 8th National Executive Council’s Cardinal Agenda in the state chapters under Isong’s leadership.
He is also expected to pursue an enhanced membership drive by attracting genuine Pentecostals who presently are not yet actively involved in PFN within the zone, supervise the conduct of appointments/elections into etates’ executive councils, along with the respective state advisory councils.
The letter added, “In conjunction with the National States’ Inauguration Committee, you shall supervise and as well represent the National President, and inaugurate each state executives-elect, in your zone.”
Accepting the appointment, Archisbishop Isong thanked the National President and the National Advisory Council/National Executive Council
for the honour done him, and promised to serve diligently.
Until his recent appointment, Isong was the immediate past National Publicity Secretary and spokesperson of the PFN. He had previously served the fellowship as the state Chairman of Cross River State chapter of the PFN.
