Nigerians react as Oyedepo meets Atiku in Abeokuta

Nigerians have taken to social media to react over the presence of David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, at the residence of former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, earlier today.

The political atmosphere was at its peak at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta, Ogun state, on Thursday as the ex-President who played host to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, also received religious leaders, top politicians and civil rights activists.

Among the religious leaders were Ahmad Gumi, a Kaduna-based Islamic cleric; Mathew Kukah, Catholic bishop of Sokoto diocese; David Oyedepo.

Today Baba OBJ, Bishop David Oyedepo, Baba Ayo Adebanjo, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, Sheik Abubakar Gumi and a host of other leaders endorsed @Atiku for the Presidency and rejected @MBuhari. This represents the end of an evil govt. and era. Thanks be to God. He is faithful.

So after all the noise about Fulani herdsmen killings Oyedepo has the ball to openly endorsed another Fulani man to rule this country. Next time you appear on my tv I will turn it off. Hypocrisy!

Oyedepo didn’t pick the flag bearers for the realistic contenders. Faced with two options, he has chosen the better one. He could very well still believe the north doesn’t have to rule, but since it has to be a northerner, better a nationalist than a clannish one.
