– Bishop Oyedepo On Tribes And Election 2023
Founder and senior pastor of the Living Faith church, Bishop David Oyedepo has called on Nigerians to vote according to their conscience as no tribe owns Nigeria.
Addressing his church members, he asked them to vote with their conscience knowing fully well the current state of the country and bearing the future of Nigeria in mind.
Bishop Oyedepo on tribes and election also warned the congregation and Nigerian populace against voting for a candidate due to loyalty to a political party or tribe.
Oyedepo said, “Nigeria has witnessed a wide range of security challenges. We have faced that gruesomely for the last eight years. People claim responsibility for killings and are walking on the streets. They take a sword in today’s world and cut off a man’s neck. Then somebody is coming again to say this is what they will do, let them tell us what they have done.”
Oyedepo went further to caution against blind loyalty to political parties at the expense of the future of Nigeria.
The cleric said, “Listen to me, there is no party without members of this church. There are founders of parties who are members of this church but we are talking about the nation, not a party. We are talking about the people, not a party, no tribe owns Nigeria, the presidency is not a traditional stool.”
Speaking further Oyedepo said, “Vote wisely, vote your conscience, vote the future of your children, vote the future of the coming generation, vote the future of one Nigeria.”
