The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide alias Winners’ Chapel International, David Oyedepo, has come under fire for kicking against the continuous closure of churches over the COVID-19 pandemic.
Alleging ulterior motives, the senior pastor lamented why markets were allowed to open and churches remained closed.

Oyedepo during the Covenant Hour of Prayer Programme, argued that if markets could be opened for six hours, there was no reason churches should not be opened for two hours.

If Pastor Bishop Oyedepo is richer than the people he serves. You should wonder if he’s here to help us or are we here to help him?

Just like Oyahkilome, Bishop Oyedepo is just pained that his scam business, called church, is under locks and keys.
Hence, the talk about imaginary God that spoke to him and gave him shrew rats to smell ?? pic.twitter.com/my6KUDPxiM— Thomas, akingbade (@ThomasAkingbade) May 7, 2020
