NATIONAL President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Francis Wale Oke, has said that the next president should be a Christian from the South in order to forester unity, stability and peaceful co-existence in the country.
Oke, who is also President, Sword of the Spirit Ministries and Chancellor, Precious Conner Stone University, Ibadan Oyo State, said he meant either a South-East, South-West, South-South by the South, emphasising that the president ought not to be a Muslim.
The cleric, who was in Uyo for Uyo Miracle Convention organised by Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Ministry International, added that the country needed a leader that is God-fearing and cerebral enough to grasp the complexities of governance, saying that this became imperative because Nigeria, according to him, is a very complex nation with over 500 ethnic nationalities with everybody claiming attention.
While insisting on a Christian as the next president, he urged Nigerians to bury their ego and unbridled ambitions to achieve this, recalling that “Chief Obasanjo handed over to Yar’Adua, Yar’Adua handed over to Jonathan and Jonathan handed over to Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari, and President Buhari shouldn’t hand over to a Muslim.”
“Without any doubt if we are interested in the stability of this country, the South should produce the next president and by the South I am talking of South East, South West, South South.
“The South in general, and not only should the South produce the next president, the next president ought to be a Christian not a Muslim, this is very important,” he said.
