Bishop Oyedepo Breaks Silence On 2019 Presidential Election In Nigeria

The General Overseer of The Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo in his reaction to the just concluded presidential election in Nigeria, has said the election was a disgrace to the country and its citizens as a whole.

Speaking during the Sunday service at the Church headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, Oyedepo mocked the irregularities that marred the exercise and also prayed that Nigeria would not experience another war as a result of the remaining elections.

Oyedepo said:

“Other developed countries around the world had developed their mode of voting into a digitized method, but it’s a shame that in Nigeria, we still queue up to vote, and somebody would still be intimidated by thugs. With these, it’s a shame how politicians in this part of the world are proud of elections marred with rigging.

“In Covenant University, any student caught indulging in examination malpractice, is gone. It does not matter if his or her father is the head of United Nations or not.”

Oyedepo continued by praying against any form of bloodbath in any part of Nigeria as a result of the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly elections:

“Every spirit of thuggery in Nigeria shall be silenced and every forces that would not let Nigeria rest shall be laid to rest and silenced forever.”
