Summary: Winners Chapel founder Bishop David Oyedepo has fired shots at President Bola Tinubu, calling him out over Nigeria’s worsening insecurity and killings across the country. Here’s everything he said.
Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide — popularly known as Winners Chapel — has come out swinging against President Bola Tinubu, and he is not mincing words.
The fiery clergyman openly knocked the President over the rising wave of insecurity and economic hardship that has continued to plague ordinary Nigerians, and he wants Aso Rock to know that the Church is watching.
“I Have Not Heard Any Statement From Government Quarters”
In a no-holds-barred address that has since gone viral, Bishop Oyedepo expressed deep frustration over what he described as a deafening silence from the Presidency in the face of ongoing killings across the nation.
“I have not heard any statement from government quarters against the killings,” the Bishop declared, his words cutting through like a hot knife through butter.
For many Nigerians who have been asking the same question in hushed tones at markets, bus stops, and WhatsApp group chats, Oyedepo simply said out loud what millions already feel in their hearts.
“Stop Pretending to Be Ignorant”
The Bishop did not stop there. He went further to call on President Tinubu to stop acting as though he is unaware of what is happening on Nigerian soil.
His message was clear — Nigerians are dying, communities are being decimated, and the Commander-in-Chief owes his people more than silence.
This is not the first time Bishop Oyedepo has taken a bold stand against political leadership in Nigeria. The Bishop has historically refused to keep his pulpit away from the pressing realities of the Nigerian street. From fuel subsidy removal to food inflation that has made a bag of rice feel like a luxury item, everyday Nigerians know the pain is real — and apparently, so does Oyedepo.
Why This Matters to Every Nigerian
Let’s call a spade a spade. When a man of God of Oyedepo’s stature — someone with millions of followers across Nigeria and beyond — steps forward to hold the government accountable, it sends a powerful message.
Nigerians from Lagos to Maiduguri, from Port Harcourt to Sokoto, are tired. Farmers are being killed on their own land. Families are being displaced. And yet, life in Abuja seems to go on as normal.
The Bishop’s words serve as a reminder that silence in the face of injustice is not neutrality — it is complicity.
The Ball Is Now in Tinubu’s Court
As the video continues to make rounds on social media, Nigerians are waiting to see whether the Presidency will respond or whether this too will be met with the same silence Oyedepo complained about.
One thing is certain — when a Bishop speaks, Nigeria listens. Whether Aso Rock will listen too remains to be seen.
