The Bishop of Living Faith Bible Church, David Oyedepo has stated that the government led by President Muhammadu Buhari is the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria.
He said this while delivering the sermon on Sunday at the Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun State.
According to him, Buhari’s government had no direction and is like a curse on Nigeria.
“In my view you are bad and you shouldn’t be a leader. I have the right to say so. As far as I am concerned, I am a true born and thoroughly-bred Nigerian, an intelligent one.
“In my view, this is the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria, this government. It is the worst and in fact, it is like a curse.
” I led the first prayer and fasting for Nigeria in 1979, that tells you I am not a baby in the affairs of Nigeria.
“This is the worst government, a government with no direction. Their days are numbered. I can tell you as a prophet that their days are numbered.”
Oyedepo also made reference to the hate speech bill being sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi

Oyedepo also spoke against the hate speech bill being sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi.
He went further to ask why the government should criminalize hate speech when the people who kill others are allowed to walk free.
Oyedepo added, “The government in this country is making a draconian law – hate speech. They said if you speak hatefully, you have committed murder. Out of someone who says I will kill you and the one who kills, who has committed a crime? I don’t understand which kind of animal farm we live in.
“I said stop stepping on my toes and you said that is hate speech but somebody kills and he is walking free on the streets.
“This is the most stupid and nonsensical ideal anybody can think of.”
