DAILY COURIER – The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Kaduna State Chapter, has opined that the decision of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress and that of Kaduna State to fly a same-faith party ticket is an irresponsible decision and a disregard for the nation’s diversities.

He said it was the responsibility of all political parties in the country to strengthen national integration and not otherwise.

According to a statement signed by Apostle Emmanuel Egoh BakoPFN Kaduna State Chapter President, Apostle Bako on the political expediency on the national unity of the country, he said, “I have noticed with great dismay the consistent disregard for our heterogeneous nature in Nigeria by our political players. This is done in the face of the increasing weakness of the bond of unity.

“It is not only against the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria but against the plan of God.”

He observed with concern that the new trend of fielding party flag bearers with individuals from one faith is not consistent with the federal system but had the potency to polarise the nation at this crucial moment when all true citizens were in search of unity.

“The new trend of fielding party flag bearers with individuals from one faith is not consistent with our federal system. It has the potency to polarise our beloved nation at this crucial moment that all true citizens are searching for unity,” the statement observed.

Bako noted that, with the ongoing political situation in the country, it was an irresponsible decision and a disregard for the country’s diversities and stated that it was not acceptable.
