PFN Election: Why I did Not Participate —Rev. Kasali

 


The Senior Pastor, Foundation of Truth Assembly, Rev. Yomi Kasali, on Wednesday said he did not participate in the just concluded election of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) as reported.

Kasali made this known at a news conference held in Surulere, Lagos.

He said: “This is a response to an online publication about the just concluded PFN election for Lagos State.

“The online publication said I participated in that election that took place on Monday, February 5th.

“This news conference is just to state the fact that I did not participate in that election as the online publication stated that my name was on the ballot.”

According to Kasali, his name which was on ballot could have  been an error or mischief.

“Before the election, I got a call from the south west vice president of PFN, His Grace, Archbishop John Osa-Oni.

“He asked me if I was available to attend the PFN meeting scheduled for Feb. 5.

“I asked him what for, and he said that it was an election my name had been nominated to be the chairman of Lagos State PFN which he will like me to come and participate in.

“My response after I thought about it was that I was not interested, hence, I declined,” he said.

He added that he did not believe in elections rather than consultations for the sacred office because it was call to service.

“The reason why I declined is that it is an election. I did not decline to serve the body of Christ if they will like us to serve, I declined because of the process.

“I also called to congratulate the new PFN chairman, Rev. Toyin Kehinde.

“I am still part of the PFN family and we will do our bit as a church in our own little way,” he said.
