Oyedepo Says Buhari Is Worst Thing To Happen To Nigeria; APC: He Needs His Head Examined

By Akinwale Kasali

The General Overseer and Founder of Living Faith Bible Church, Bishop David Oyedepo is a very angry man. He is angry over the state of affairs in the country.

In a Sermon delivered on Sunday, the Bishop pulled back mo strings, and fired from all cylinders.

Preaching at  the Sunday Service in his Church in Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, Oyedepo stopped short of labelling the President a curse on Nigerians.But he emphatically  described the Buhari administration as “the worst in the history of Nigeria.”

Oyedepo also described the hate speech bill, being sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi, as the most ridiculous bill anyone could think of, and  insisted that the government was using that avenue to criminalise hate speech while allowing those who kill others at will were left to walk free.

Oyedepo: “The government in this country is making a draconian law – hate speech. They say if you speak hatefully, you have committed murder. Between someone who says I will kill you, and the one who kills, who has committed a crime? I don’t understand which kind of animal farm we live in.

“I said stop stepping on my toes and you said that is hate speech, but somebody kills and he is walking free on the streets. This is the most stupid and nonsensical bill anybody can think of,  I said you are bad, and you said that is a crime. Must I say you are good when you are bad?

“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 one. 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 have been here for some time and I led the first prayer and fasting for Nigeria in 1979. 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.”

But the APC has taken a swipe at the Bishop saying “he needs his head examined”. Reacting, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena, said Oyedepo, for “prophesising Buhari’s end needs a head examination”.
