Oyedepo speaks on alleged leaked audio with Peter Obi

Senior pastor of the Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has reacted to the leaked audio tape between him and Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party.

Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, April 2, 2023, the cleric noted that he has never campaigned for any political party in Nigeria.

The leaked audio had Peter Obi asking the bishop to mobilise support for him towards the 2023 presidential election.

Peter Obi was heard allegedly making the appeal for votes from Christians in the South-West as the election was a religious war.

“Daddy, I need you to speak to your people in the South-West and Kwara, the Christians in the South-West and Kwara. This is a religious war. Like I keep saying: if this works, you people will never regret the support,” he was heard in the audio.

Reacting to the audio, Oyedepo claims he has never campaigned for political party and that some people are angry because he only says what God asks him to say.

“Nobody had ever told me what to say in this world. No. I have never campaigned for anybody or speak on anybody’s behalf and I will not do that till I go to heaven.

“There is no (political) party in this country that didn’t come to me for prayers and advice. I advised them, some, they didn’t take. Those who chose to take it, they see results; those who said no, they are going about it (laughs). If you still come again, I will still tell you, it doesn’t change,” he said.
