Peter Obi: Oyedepo reacts to alleged audio conversation

By Daniel Tyokua 

The founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, on Sunday reacted to a purported trending audio alleging that he had a conversation with the Presidential candidate of Labour party, Peter Obi during the last election.

He explained that he never campaigned for any politician or spoken on their behalf in the build-up to the 2023 General Elections in the country.

Oyedepo was speaking to the congregation at the church’s headquarters, Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun State, in response to the audio  between him  and Obi, on the eve of the presidential poll discussing on the mobilisation of Christians in Kwara and South-West states to vote for him (Obi).

The cleric, while indirectly referring to the alleged leaked phone conversation between him and Obi, said he never spoke to any group of people on behalf of any politician.

He added that all political parties sought his prayers and advice before the election and he availed them.

According to him, nobody had ever told him what to say in this world.

Oyedepo said, “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 (political) 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,”
