The National President and Executive Council of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has lauded the new chairman and other elected executives of the Lagos State chapter of the religious body for their victory at just concluded election which held last Tuesday.
The Lagos PFN on Tuesday elected a new chairman, Yemi Davids, his deputy, Rev. Mrs. Janet Onaolapo, among others.
Speaking on the issue, the PFN National Publicity Secretary, Bishop Dr Emmah Isong, who spoke on behalf of PFN National President, His Eminence, Bishop Dr Wale Oke, urged the new exco to carry their members along in the daily running of the affairs of the fellowship.
Oke urged the newly elected exco to lead with wisdom and ensure that the confidence reposed in them by their members is not betrayed.
A congratulatory message released on May 30, by the PFN National President, Bishop Oke, confirmed by the National Publicity Secretary of the Christian body, Bishop Dr Isong and sighted by our correspondent, called for all hands to be on deck so as to lift the Christian body to enviable pedestal.
Welcoming the newly elected Lagos State PFN exco into the fold, Isong’s letter reads, “I am pleased to announce to you that the Lagos PFN elections conducted on Tuesday, May 28, 2024 has been vetted, accepted and validated by the National President.
“We hereby congratulate the new chairman, Pastor Yemi Davids, the deputy, Rev. Mrs. Janet Onaolapo, the Secretary Rev. Udo Robertson Agomuonso, the Treasurer, Pastor Sola Osunmakinde.
“Other elected positions shall be filled at the General Assembly of the Lagos State PFN as stipulated by the National President.”
Commenting further on the issue, the Archbishop-elect Dr Isong, affirmed that the election was free and fair, stressing that this accounted for the reason why they are yet to see any one protesting against the emergence of Davis and his team, who emerged as winners in the contest.
The successful and the peaceful conduct of the Lagos State PFN elections has finally laid to rest all agitations, suspicions and insinuations, and has brought great appreciations and salutations to the wisdom and administrative grace of the National President.
