Umbrella body of Pentecostalism in Nigeria, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, Thursday declared its support for the state of emergency declared by President Goodluck Jonathan in three states of the North East and enjoined the president to work with the National Assembly to follow through on all provisions as enunciated by the constitution, reports Sam Eyoboka.

Speaking at the end of its first National Advisory Committee/National Executive Committee meeting in Lagos, the newly elected PFN nat-ional president, Rev. Felix Omobude who was flanked by his vice pre-sident, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, secretary, Apostle Yohanna Kure and Bishop Mike Okon kwo, said the presidential declaration had become inevitable.

He, however, caution-ed that the military oper-ation must be carried out within the ambit of the law and respect for fun-damental human rights so that the rights of inno-cent Nigerians are not unnecessarily infringed upon.
