The Pentecostal Association of Nigeria and Diaspora (PAND) has raised the alarm about a brewing leadership crisis in the Lagos State Chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), following the refusal of outgoing Chairman, Apostle Enyinnaya Okwuonu to hand over after the completion of his tenure.

The group in statement signed by its National President, Apostle Jesulere James which was made available to SaharaReporters on Monday, accused the National President of PFN, Bishop Wale Oke, of imposing Okwuonu on the body despite serving out his eight years of tenure.

"Bishop Wale Oke is doing all things possible and impossible to ensure that Okwuonu is imposed on the Yorubas in Lagos State. Apostle Okwuonu has boasted to some people that nobody can remove him or else Lagos will burn."The group alleged that"Some Igbo leaders vowed that they would no longer allow the Yorubas to head the fellowship or take up any important positions again in the fellowship.

"PAND is waiting for them to take this wrong step of imposition before we invite EFCC and relevant authorities into the matter. Renovation work at the State PFN Secretariat which started in 2020 has since stopped with nothing to show for the huge millions of naira raised for the renovation. "They have vowed that 2023 Presidential elections, which saw strong obidient movement showing, will be a child’s play to what they are planning for Lagos at the coming 2025 local government and 2027 national elections.
