The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said the days of President Muhammadu Buhari are numbered in Nigeria
Oyedepo, lamenting the state of the nation, described Buhari as a bad leader, adding that his government is the worst in the history of Nigeria.
He made the statement on Sunday while delivering a sermon during the second service of the church at the Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun State.
According to him, Buhari’s government had no direction and is like a curse on Nigeria.
“In my view you are bad and you shouldn’t be a leader. I have the right to say so. As far as I am concerned, I am a true born and thoroughly-bred Nigerian, an intelligent man .“In my view, this is the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria, this government. It is the worst and in fact, it is like a curse.
“I led the first prayer and fasting for Nigeria in 1979, that tells you I am not a baby in the affairs of Nigeria.
“This is the worst government, a government with no direction. Their days are numbered. I can tell you as a prophet that their days are numbered.”
Oyedepo also made reference to the hate speech bill being sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi
He went further to describe the bill as the most ridiculous and stupid bill anyone could think of.
The cleric queried the strategy of the government to criminalise hate speech while giving freedom to those who kill others
In a swift reaction, the ruling party at the centre, The All Progressives Congress, (APC), on Monday lambasted Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church for prophesying that President Muhammadu Buhari’s days are numbered.
Speaking with Newspot Nigeria, APC’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena Oyedepo asked that the bishops head be examined, suggesting that the Winners chapel founder has not contributed anything to Nigeria.
Recall that Oyedepo had told his members that Buhari’s government was the worst in Nigeria’s history and a curse to the nation.
Addressing his members during Sunday service, Oyedepo had further stated that Buhari’s days were numbered because the current government has no direction for Nigeria as a whole.
Reacting, Nabena maintained that the General Overseer of Living Faith Church has no right to make such remarks.
According to Nabena: “What has he contributed to Nigeria, Oyedepo has no right to crucify or tell anybody that their time has come to an end.
“He has no right, he should examine his own head what has he given back to the community. Despite the billions of naira and dollars, Nigerians have contributed through offerings to him what has he given back to the community?
“What has he contributed to the country? So he is not in a position to tell Nigerians what to do because they voted for Buhari so he has no right
