The National President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Rev (Dr) Felix Omobude Sunday called on Nigerians, particularly, religious leaders, to desist from making unguarded statements capable of causing more crisis in the country.

Dr Omobude in a statement made available to newsmen in Benin, the Edo State capital by his media aide, Deacon Ralph Okhiria, expressed displeasure over the way and manner some influential Nigerians, including eminent religious leaders, dabble into issues that are inimical to national unity and cohesion.

Rev. Omobude noted that what is required at this trying time in the country is for every Nigerian to engage in things that can reduce the challenges currently facing the nation.

According to him: “Rather than increase the problems facing Nigeria, we should all join hands by doing things that will bring about peace, unity and development to our country.”

He said it was highly disheartening the indiscriminate manners some Nigerians are fanning the embers of hatred and disunity, noting what is desirable at this critical period in the nation is for Nigerians particularly religious leaders to be peacemakers and not troublemakers.
