OYEDEPO REACTION TO BUHARI HATE SPEECH BILL

The Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has Described the regime of President Muhammadu Buhari, as the worst in the history of Nigeria.

According to Punch, Bishop Oyedepo said this while delivering a sermon during the second service of the church at the Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun. That Buhari’s government lacks clear direction, alleging that the administration is making draconian laws against its citizens.
The cleric condemned the hate speech bill sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi at the national assembly, describing it as a “nonsensical ideal anyone can think of”.
The Bishop said, “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."

"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 have been here for some time and I led the first prayer and fasting for Nigeria in 1979. 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," Punch quoted the cleric as saying.
“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.
"I said you are bad and you said that is a crime. Must I say you are good when you are bad?"
He lamented that while the government is seeking to criminalise hate speech, those who kill others at will are left to walk free.
