2015: "I warned Nigerians they're heading for trouble"

In an apparent rebuke of the Muhammadu Buhari administration, President of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo said he warned Nigerians about their electoral choice in 2015.

The popular cleric said God showed him that trouble awaited Nigeria under a Buhari administration.

He stated this Sunday during a sermon at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State.

Oyedepo noted that he had never benefitted from any government in Nigeria despite criticism directed his way.

“A lot of people were washing their mouths on me, 2015 when I told them, ‘you are heading for trouble’.

“He told me. I saw trouble, I saw Nigeria under stress. He confided in me: warn them.

“I am a zero beneficiary of any political era in my life. Ask them. I have never taken a ballot box in my life. I have grown outside that realm, by grace,” he said.

“When I wasn’t grown, when I was crawling, it was not God’s plan for my life.”

It is not about… I will still tell you whether you want to hear it or not. Now see your trouble since 2015.

“You can’t access His plan because you are experienced in the Faith. You need to be in love. He shows me,” Oyedepo said.
