Presidency to Oyedepo: you’re blinded by hatred for Buhari

Spokesman to the President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi Adesina, has said Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, is “blinded by hatred” for President Muhammadu Buhari. Adesina said this in a post on his verified Twitter handle.

Oyedepo while Speaking at a church service on Monday, described Buhari’s government as the “most wicked and corrupt” in the history of Nigeria. The cleric accused the government of not caring about the welfare of the citizens, especially students.

He also made what appeared to be a reference to the probe of the accountant-general of the federation over alleged N80 billion fraud, adding that such an amount could have been channeled to meet the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).

In response via a tweet,the presidency,blasted Oyedepo and asked him to go get his facts right on the difference between auditor-general and accountant-general.

Noting that “The bishop at Ota can’t even get his facts right. Blinded by hatred for PMB, he says Auditor General stole N80bn. Pity! He doesn’t know difference between Accountant General (only alleged) and Auditor General. Like OBJ said long ago, we should begin to ordain our own bishops,” he tweeted.
