The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has described President Goodluck Jonathan’s concession of defeat in the March 28 Presidential election as a move which “saved the nation from political chaos and violence.”
The President of PFN, Reverend Dr. Felix Omobude, commended the president for enabling a peaceful election, adding that his action was a true demonstration of sportsmanship in the interest of the country.
Omobude, in a statement on Thursday, also congratulated the President-elect, Major-General Mohammadu Buhari on his victory in the presidential poll.
He said, “The PFN shares in your aspiration to move Nigeria forward and hope that with the support of Nigerians, we can together build a strong, virile and united nation where no one is oppressed.
“We commend President Jonathan for his courage and spirit of sportsmanship in accepting the outcome of the elections. This has saved the nation from political chaos and violence.
“The PFN call on all Nigerians to continue to maintain peace and order and engage in things that will unite us and strengthen our democratic values.”
