Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has encouraged its members to vie for elective political positions in the country.
The body argued that shying away from politics would only worsen the situation of corruption prevalent among most politicians at the corridors of power.
PFN Chairman in Idemili North Local Government Area, Rev. Emeka Elukposi made the call at the inauguration service of the newly elected Eziowelle Ward Men and Women PFN Executives at Freedom Praise Family Worship International Center, Eziowelle.
“You cannot keep saying that politics is a dirty game but if you need help you go to the so-called politicians to request for one assistance or the other. And you are at their mercy to respond to you or govern you anyway they want.
“Politics is everywhere and even in families. Participate in politics and amend the bad governance where necessary. Join politics and mend it.
“Don’t stay by the side and condemn politics as dirty but if the dirty politicians offer your children scholarship you accept it,” he said.
Elukposi also encouraged every Pentecostal church to register with the body which he described as not just the mother of Pentecostal churches, but a ladder to success and reliable ally in times of challenges.
Inaugurating the PFN Eziowelle Men and Women Executives, Elukposi flanked by his wife/INLGA PFN Women Coordinator, Rev. Mrs Chinyere Elukposi and INLGA PFN Secretary, Rev Dr. Mathew Ugbo said serving in PFN amount to serving the entire body of Christ.
“As you serve PFN in obedience, God will bless your bread and water. You must obey authorities, correct with love and in unity embrace the vision of the Chapter Chairman and your superiors,” said Elukposi.
Earlier, new PFN Eziowelle Ward Chairman, Pastor Obinna Oguaju who was reelected for a second term solicited for fund needed to purchase an 18 seater bus which would be of help in the area of transportation to meetings.
