 PFN President Vows to Resist Proposed Ban on Preaching in Commercial Buses The President of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Bishop Wale Oke, has criticised the proposed legislation seeking to prohibit preaching and unsolicited religious activities in commercial buses, declaring that Christians would continue to evangelise despite the measure. Oke, who spoke during a church sermon on Sunday, vowed that members of the PFN would resist any attempt to enforce the proposed law, insisting that preaching the gospel remained a divine mandate that could not be overridden by legislation. The cleric said Christians would continue to preach in buses and other public places, citing the biblical instruction to spread the gospel across the world. “Make all the stadiums in Nigeria become prisons; if you want to enforce that law, we are coming. We will break that law. Our Master told us to go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature,” Oke said. “You sit somewhere there, ...

 Anti-Defection Policy Cannot Override Constitutional Rights, Sam Amadi Tells NDC


The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has said that no political party can prevent elected officials from defecting if their actions are consistent with provisions of the Nigerian Constitution.


Amadi stated this on Wednesday during a live interview while reacting to the anti-defection policy recently introduced by the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which requires candidates seeking elective offices on the party's platform to sign legal documents committing to vacate their positions if they leave the party after winning elections.


According to him, the party's attempt to address defections through legal undertakings may not be sufficient to resolve what is essentially a political problem.


“The NDC cannot solve a political problem through constitutional interpretation. The NDC is trying to solve a political problem through a constitutional question, but that approach is flawed,” he said.


Amadi argued that individuals cannot be lawfully barred from changing political parties if they believe their actions fall within the constitutional provisions governing defection.


“It is not possible to lawfully exclude people from decamping if they believe their actions fall within the provisions of the constitution they signed,” he said.


He maintained that elected officials retain the right to switch political parties where their reasons align with exceptions provided under the Constitution.


“If individuals choose to change political parties, they are allowed to do so, provided their reasons fall within the exceptions outlined in the constitution. In such cases, the law applies as provided,” Amadi added.


The NDC's anti-defection policy is aimed at strengthening party discipline and loyalty ahead of future elections, amid growing concerns over the frequent movement of elected officials between political parties.
