Pastor and founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners’ Chapel, David Oyedepo has said he would not be taking the coronavirus vaccine.

According to him, he refuses to be a guinea pig.

Speaking during his church's Covenant Hour of Prayer program on Saturday, April 17, 2021, he stated that the vaccine is illegal, adding that the church had the answer to the coronavirus outbreak.

“I have never seen a generation where you force people to take vaccines. It is inhuman; it is immoral sir. I’m not a lawyer but I don’t think it is legal. You can’t come to my house and want to give me injection. On what? Did I invite you? They are confused. But the church has the answer.

“Did you see any outbreak of virus here? How will it enter the gate? Will it come through the air? How? One woman just got down after that injection in Kaduna. What kind of life? Are human beings now turned to guinea pigs? The world is confused but the church is lighted. So, the triumph of the church will humble the pride of the world. They don’t know what to do, sir. In the last days, the church will be reigning in power and glory. That is God’s agenda."

Pastor Oyedepo noted that he would continue to expose the devil as he owes no one any apologies for refusing to take the vaccine.

“No apologies. There is a big, big bird in our land, saying ‘don’t take it, they are deceivers’. Let me see someone who will come and inject me. By who? Are you going to tie my hands? How? Did I invite you? I know you are quiet, you will hear more of it. My job is to expose the devil and tell his agents, ‘get off, we are not guinea pigs,” he said.

The coronavirus vaccination exercise started in Nigeria in March with about 3.9 million doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine.

According to the National Primary Health Care Development Agency NPHCDA, the country has vaccinated about one million people.

Nigeria has so far recorded over 160,000 COVID-19 infections and more than 2,000 related deaths.
