VIDEO: Oyedepo speaks on leaked audio with Obi

The founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has spoken about a viral audio clip of himself and the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, saying he never campaigned for any politician ahead of the just-concluded elections in the country.

Obi, in the viral audio clip, enjoined Oyedepo to speak to the Christians in the South-West geopolitical zone and Kwara State to vote for him in the February 25, 2023, presidential election.

The former two-term governor of Anambra State also described the presidential poll as a “religious war”.

Reacting to the clip which has been eliciting reactions from Nigerians, Oyedepo, while speaking to the congregation at the Winners Chapel headquarters, in Ota, Ogun State, on Sunday, April 2 said he never campaigned for any politician or spoken on their behalf during the 2023 general election.

The revered cleric added that all political parties sought his prayers and advice before the election, stressing that he advised the politicians.

“I have never campaigned for anybody or spoken on anybody’s behalf and I will not do that till I go to heaven.

“There is no party in this country that didn’t come to me for prayers and advice.

“I advised them, some, they didn’t take. Those who chose to take it saw results; those who said no are still going about it.

“If you still come again, I will still tell you, it doesn’t change,” Oyedepo said.
