Pastor Poju Oyemade of Covenant Christian Centre has stated that an article he shared on social media is not a response to the stance taken by Bishop Oyedepo on the closure of churches.

According to Oyemade, the article was shared 48 hours before Oyedepo's statement against the continued closure of churches amid coronavirus pandemic.

He wrote on Facebook: "My attention has been drawn to articles going around some websites that an article I wrote on how one can remain effective during these times was written in response to Bishop Oyedepo's statement on the closure of Churches.

"That assumption/inference is simply incorrect. Facts can easily be verified by checking time-lines. My article was written before Bishop Oyedepo spoke.

"I do understand that certain narratives drive traffic to websites and sowing seeds of division does attract attention. I will like to make it clear and on record that my article was written 48hours before he spoke.

"In the article I did emphasise that criticising other ministries and churches operations is not a sign of strength on one's part so the article contradicts the conclusions being inferred".
