Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka Winners’ Chapel, David Oyedepo, has claimed he always knew Nigeria was heading for a waterloo under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
Oyedepo stated this during the Easter service in his church.
The cleric has been a vocal critic of Buhari since 2015 and has now said God confided in him that the country was not heading in the right direction.
Oyedepo also described Nigerians as a people with a “short memory”, as candidates begin to express their interest in running for the presidency in 2023.

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has declared that he can trust any Southeaster to be the President of Nigeria.
His stand is coming at a time the South-East is demanding for a Nigerian President of Igbo extraction, on the basis of equity.
He noted that the sit-at-home order issued by the members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) was not only inimical to their survival but also to the growth of the nation.
Oba Abdulrosheed also advocated for a rethink by the South Easterners to their approach.
The monarch held that no Nigerian will feel secured in the hands of a leader whose ethnic attachment deprived other Nigerians their rights.

Its really an uncanny and odd mix here in the Coal City and indeed in other parts of Enugu state as the FG declared public holiday for Easter Monday is running concurrently with the Monday Sit-At-Home put in place by IPOB to protest the extraordinary rendition from Kenya and detention of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the FG.
Though IPOB had called off the protest, restricting its observance to days of Mazi Kanu’s court appearance, it has remained in sit.
Despite IPOB reiteration of its position and renewed calls for its end, the exercise has remained in place because an IPOB splinter group loyal Simon Ekpa insists it must continue.
Efforts by Anambra governor, Chukwuma Soludo has been met with stiff and violent resistance.
Ideally, it was thought that on this Easter public holiday declared by the government, it would have been lifted but that is not the case here.
Major markets, supermarkets, shops, goods stores, restaurants, eateries, bars, drink inns, filling stations, offices, banks, construction sites, garages, motor parks and other public places are all shut.
