However, the deputy national secretary of the PFN, David Bakare, has dissociated the group from the Pentecostal Bishops Forum of Northern Nigeria members, who met with APC presidential candidate Bola Tinubu on Friday, September 23.
The PFN also maintained that its position on the APC Muslim-Muslim ticket remained unchanged.
In an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, Keyamo said the religious body has no right to criticize the ruling party’s decisions. According to him, the PFN are not members of the APC and should go and vote on election day.
“They should not be coming to question the decision of our party publicly. The purpose of pastors or their duty is to lead people to heaven not to lead people to the [presidential] villa.
