The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, has asked the Senate not to approve President Muhammadu Buhari’s request to borrow $29. 96 billion loan.

Chairman of the PFN in Enugu State, Rev. Godwin Madu made this known in a statement Thursday, and urged President Buhari to, instead, use the loots recovered from corrupt politicians to solve the country’s economic problems and not to go cap in hand borrowing.

Madu said, “The president should instead use the recovered loots for implementing its policies. It will not be nice at this time of recession to go borrowing for any reason when there are billions of Naira so far recovered from individuals and corporate bodies.

“The Senate should not approve it because it is not to the best interest of the country. Such move will further ruin the future of this country.”

The PFN also, condemned the release of five suspected killers of an Igbo woman in Kano, Madam Bridget Agbahime.

“How can this type of thing happen in Nigeria? We can’t imagine an authority of the state making a no-case submission in favour of suspects who already confessed to a murder.

“The person killed is a human being and this further puts to question ‎the integrity of the Judiciary because in the first case, the magistrate court lacks the jurisdiction to try murder cases.

“Our stand is that the National Judicial Council, NJC, should summon and investigate the magistrate in question,” the PFN added.

Commending Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for ensuring security of lives and property in Enugu State, the PFN urged other governors “to do everything possible to protect their citizens wherever they are in Nigeria and in the Diaspora. Our people should not be allowed to be treated anyhow.

It added, “We call on the Kano State government and the NJC to know that a murder‎ case cannot be closed that way; it has become a bad precedent in the country.”
