The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said that the of President Muhammadu Buhari is the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria.
and that the days of President Muhammadu Buhari are numbered.
Oyedepo who spoke in the course of his sermon on Sunday at the Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun State, the headquarters of the church said that the days of the enemies of Nigeria are numbered.
He appeared particularly irked by the hate speech bill being sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi, describing it as the most ridiculous bill any lawmaker could think of.
The social media and hate speech bills which had drawn criticisms from a wide section of Nigerians who condemned the bills on the ground that there are extant laws to deal with the fears and abuses envisaged by the promoters of both bills.
Oyedepo in obvious reference to a strange bill to grant amnesty and scholarship to repentant Boko Haram terrorists wondered why the government was seeking to criminalise hate speech but those who kill others at will were left to walk free and given special treatment.
Oyedepo said: “The government in this country is making a draconian law – hate speech. They said if you speak hatefully, you have committed murder. Out of 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 ideal 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.”
