The senior pastor of megachurch Faith Tabernacle, Bishop Oyedepo has said that politicians influenced and rigged the just concluded presidential and National Assembly elections.
Speaking during the Sunday service at his church headquarter in Ota, Ogun state, the Bishop prayed Nigeria would not experience another war as a result of the remaining elections, but mocked the irregularities that riddled the exercise in some polling units.
“Other developed countries around the world had developed their mode of voting into a digitised method, but it’s a shame that in Nigeria, we still queue up to vote, and somebody would still be intimidated by thugs. With these, it’s a shame how politicians in this part of the world are proud of elections marred with rigging,” the Bishop said.
“In Covenant University, any student caught indulging in examination malpractice, is gone. It does not matter if his or her father is the head of United Nations or not.”
Bishop Oyedepo prayed that the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly elections would be peaceful and corruption.
“Every spirit of thuggery in Nigeria shall be silenced and every forces that would not let Nigeria rest shall be laid to rest and silenced forever.” He concluded.
