‘Stop Pretending, Act Now’ — Bishop Oyedepo Knocks Tinubu Over Worsening Insecurity, Economy
Published on Mon 03 Aug 2026 By
Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners Chapel), has launched a fierce critique against President Bola Tinubu’s administration, demanding immediate intervention to halt Nigeria`s spiraling economic hardship and rampant insecurity. In a video broadcast that has fast gone viral online, the prominent cleric openly accused the federal government of passivity and failing to deploy decisive measures to protect citizens and rescue the crumbling national economy. Expressing deep rage over persistent insurgent attacks and the slaughter of innocent citizens, Oyedepo warned that the endurance of the Nigerian populace has reached its absolute limit. He signaled that citizens, who have long borne the brunt of these systemic failures, may soon break their silence if conditions do not change. The Bishop strictly condemned the perpetrators of these violent acts, while firmly dismissing any notions of forced reconciliation or sympathy toward killers. Delivering a stern, direct message to the Presidency, Oyedepo insisted that the time for political posturing is over. "The president needs to act now and stop pretending," the cleric declared. "You can’t slaughter members of my family and expect me to pray for you. I will pray against you and your household." The fiery remarks add to a growing chorus of high-profile religious and civil leaders calling for an urgent overhaul of Nigeria`s national security strategies and a revitalization of fiscal policies to ease consumer hardship. The presidency has yet to issue an official response to the cleric`s viral address.
