The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has declared that Nigeria is undergoing a national rebirth and vowed that corrupt leaders will soon be exposed.
Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday, PFN’s National Deputy President, Archbishop JohnPraise Daniel, announced a 40-day fasting and prayer campaign ahead of the 18th Biennial Conference.
Themed “The Rebirth of a Great Nation: Nigeria is Great,” the conference will be held from February 11-14 at the Dunamis Glory Dome, Abuja, focusing on economic recovery, security, and national renewal.
Archbishop Daniel emphasized the urgent need for Nigeria to transition from economic dependence to productivity, combat corruption, and create an environment where all citizens can thrive.
“The expectations of the righteous will not be cut short. Our nation is on the verge of transformation,” he stated, adding that the Church, as the conscience of the nation, remains committed to eradicating corruption.
He urged policymakers to foster entrepreneurship, particularly among young graduates, warning that the government alone cannot provide employment for all.
“Our leaders must build an economy where businesses can prosper. The current economic hardship and the increasing migration of Nigerians abroad highlight the urgency for reforms,” he said.
He also stressed the need for improved security to ensure the free movement of goods across the country, which would help reduce food prices and ease economic burdens on citizens.
Dr. Victor Ogunkanmi, Co-chairman of the Conference’s Central Working Committee, reaffirmed PFN’s commitment to exposing corrupt leaders.
“The people will demand honest and capable leadership. Nigeria must be governed by men and women of integrity, regardless of tribe or region,” he declared.
Ogunkanmi clarified that PFN does not endorse political candidates but remains steadfast in praying for righteous leadership at all levels.
He highlighted the conference’s theme, referencing Isaiah 66:8, “Can a nation be born in a day?”—stressing that Nigeria is at a pivotal moment, requiring divine intervention for true transformation.
The PFN leadership confirmed that the 18th Biennial Conference will include key strategic meetings, a General Assembly on February 12, and an evening rally.
