The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has urged President Bola Tinubu to set aside the anti-preaching and hawking bill before the National Assembly.
The Pentecostal body insisted the bill was less important than the challenges the nation is currently faced with.
Briefing newsmen in Lagos after its National Executive Council meeting, PFN National Secretary, Bishop David Bakare, described the anti-preaching and hawking bill as a needless mechanism targeted at Christians.
He said, “Nigeria doesn’t have a problem with laws, it’s about enforcing them. And there are very good laws in Nigeria. There are other laws also, which if properly taken care of, could bring sanity to different aspects of our nation. But our concern in this matter stems from the fact that we think and we do know that this law is not the urgent need of Nigerians right now.
