Bishop Oyedepo Knocks Tinubu Over Worsening Insecurity by ogododo(op): 7:36am On Aug 03
‘Stop pretending, act now’ — Bishop Oyedepo knocks Tinubu over worsening insecurity, economyPublished on August 3, 2026


General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, a.k.a Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has taken a swipe at President Bola Tinubu over the worsening insecurity and economic hardship in Nigeria.

In a viral video shared online, Oyedepo alleged that Tinubu administration was failing to take decisive action to address the challenges bedeviling Nigerian people.

The cleric expressed anger over the persistent attacks and killings across the country, issuing a note of warning that Nigerians who have endured the situation for a long time may no longer remain silent.

The General Overseer, however, condemned those behind the attacks and killing of armless Nigerians, stating that victims should not be expected to show sympathy towards the perpetrators of the heinous crime.

“The president needs to act now and stop pretending. You can’t slaughter members of my family and expect me to pray for you. I will pray against you and your household.


“The government is pretending like they don’t know what to do. I have been quiet for a long time, but the bubble is about to burst,” he fumed.

He equally accused the government of appearing unaware of the severity of the security crisis, saying leaders had failed to demonstrate the urgency required to protect citizens and restore confidence.

Papa is so passionate about Nigeria.
God bless everyone who has the interest of Nigeria at heart.
As long as we are willing and obedient, we shall eat the good of the land.

As for the fifth columnist who rejoice whenever something bad happens in Naija, ...

I dedicate "Orun Si (Ephphatha) by BBO feat. Oladosu Twins to good Nigerians.

Great jam!

The snake oil merchants who said muslim-muslim ticket will no longer be a factor in 2027 have grossly miscalculated. What's worse is that even the Northern Muslims are no longer enthusiastic about the ticket as they now see that he's only pushing a selfish tribal agenda while using them to get votes.

The Sango-Otta dwarf is back at it again.

Did he use same energy during Jonathan’s regime when insecurity was far more worse? No!

Now that the devil has renewed his powers, he feels he can vent at His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)
Re: Bishop Oyedepo Knocks Tinubu Over Worsening Insecurity by Macphenson: 8:36am On Aug 03
Tinubu is against the Christian community in this country. First he brought fake bishops then he floated a Muslim /Muslim ticket even for the second time. Now he has the temerity to send his attack dogs to come after our revered Catholic Bishops simply because they told him the raw truth about the situation on ground.
So much audacity. Whom the gods want to kill, they first make mad.

If Tinubu chose a Christian, would it have made any difference? Let's assume he chose another Pastor like Buhari did, will Christians now compromise just because a Christian is there? Then I dare say the Christians are as guilty as the Muslims because they didn't have their man there now and they can talk. We suffered 8 years under Buhari and they were Muslim and Christian. That is why I don't want any tribalism or religion in politics. Suffer suffer no send your religion, I remember Ogun State people used to complain that Obasanjo was president, yet the road to his farm no good. Our mumu never do

Then why are you agitating for zoning and "turn of the South" if its only about competence? Can't you all see your own hypocrisy? Why did you celebrate the mixed ticket in Kaduna but try to justify the muslim-muslim ticket by Tinubu in the whole of a multi-ethnic and diverse Nigeria where some Christians are already alleging persecution and segregation? It's because he loves those juicy Hausa-Fulani Muslim votes, isn't it or is it because of Shettima's competence?

I do not care. I have never cared so when you say I am agitating, you don't know me. While PDP's zoning has now been adopted by most people, it does not equal to giving it out like that just because it's your turn. There were far far better people to give than Buhari who told us he was tired after his first term. Also, history has shown us how short sighted we are because in their calculations, they never saw Yar'Adua dying in office so we need to know what we really want. The vice is not a spare tyre and if we choose a weakling because of control, then we don't love the country well.

Poverty no de discriminate between Muslim and Christian, Hausa or Igbo.
