The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) is calling on President Bola Tinubu to reject a proposed bill concerning preaching and hawking. The PFN argues the legislation is unnecessary and doesn’t address Nigeria’s critical issues. They believe the bill is specifically targeted at Christians and infringes upon religious freedom. The organization emphasized that prioritizing this bill distracts from more pressing national challenges. The proposed law is currently awaiting presidential assent after passing through the National Assembly. The PFN’s statement urges Tinubu to consider the potential impact on religious expression within the country. They maintain the bill is ill-timed and ill-advised given the current climate.
