Founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has urged his congregation to approach the 2027 general elections with responsibility and sound judgment.
Speaking during a church service, the renowned clergyman emphasized the importance of making informed electoral choices, warning against being influenced by short-term financial incentives.
The money they gave you in the last election, I’m sure it’s still there. I don’t think any member of this church will play the fool this time,” Oyedepo stated.
He also expressed concern over what he described as the erosion of the federal character principle in Nigeria, citing repeated instances of religious and ethnic favoritism in political appointments.
“Today you have Muslim-Muslim ticket being propagated, tomorrow you have Fulani-Fulani propagated, next tomorrow you have governors transfer it to their own brothers, because federal character has been destroye” he lamented.
Oyedepo’s comments served as a reminder to his followers not to allow themselves be used for political gain and to consider the nation’s future when casting their votes.
