Bishop David Oyedepo, is well known as the founder of living faith church aka Winners Chapel and his feat in educational sector by the establishment of top notch universities, primary and secondary schools across the country. He is regarded as the richest pastor world wide. He has his ministry in over 100 nations of the world. He is a very influential figure in Nigeria and world over.
Many who may not have known him prior to 2015 the APC govt got into power will definitely get to know him by now considering how critical, vocal, bold, he reacts and responds to this current govt of APC under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He has spoken on issues ranging from killings, the church, economy, leadership style and policies of the government of President Buhari. He is regarded as the most critical and fierce pastor who has not hid his dislike over this government of APC and the president right from day one of this government.
He has visibly spoken against the President, APC and the vice president who is also a pastor at Redeem Christian Church of God (RCCG) whose general overseer is his spiritual father, in the person of Pastor E.A. Adeboye.
Many are of the opinion that he would be different or perhaps, come to terms with APC once his member Dogara Yakubu who just defected to APC from PDP a few weeks ago, with many believing that he has been promised vice presidential slot of the APC as the party plans to zone its presidential candidate to Southern Nigeria becomes vice president.
Yakubu who hails from Bauchi, north east, is a northern christian precisely a member of living faith church who also has Bishop Oyedepo as his mentor is believed to fly the flag of APC with Bola Tinubu who is a southern Muslim alleged and tipped to be the presidential candidate of APC come 2023.
If they are fortunate enough to scale primaries and ultimately become vice president and president of Nigeria, it means a member of living faith and a son of Bishop Oyedopo will be the vice president. Just as the current vice president Yemi Osibanjo is to Pastor Adeboye.
Based on father and son relationship, i don't think if he would be fair enough to criticize him or APC as his is currently doing. No pastor would have a vice president as a member and would want to lose him especially in this contemporary time where churches are certified as true churches by the number and caliber of members they have. If it happens so, many will be disappointed in him and expose the fact that he was only being critical of Buhari based on personal issues if only what he presents as lack of leadership still exists till then.
