According to reports from Punch, in a YouTube video posted by the church’s official page, the cleric made this call on Sunday at its headquarters in Ota, Ogun State.
With this development, Oyedepo has joined other notable clerics, including the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church, Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan; and a former Archbishop of the Catholic Church in Lagos, Cardinal Anthony Olubunmi Okogie – who have asked Buhari to quit his position over failure to secure the lives of Nigerians.
The cleric told his congregation that although he was not partisan, he would not be alive and not talk about the massacre of Nigerians, especially in the Middle Belt, by suspected Fulani herdsmen.
Speaking on the theme, “Enough is enough,” he said,
“When I was talking in 2015, people were saying my own was too much, now everybody can see what’s happening. What has moved forward in anybody’s life? You don’t know it’s war. Why are they attacking the Christian communities? Why has nobody been arrested? I can tell you this, the authorities and the powers that be are behind them.
“I will never be partisan; Jesus got me out of it in 1984. But I will not be alive to see innocent people massacred.
“We must wake up and push this evil back. Not one of those so-called herdsmen – they are jihadists – has been brought to book till date.
“Herdsmen don’t shoot; they have been here all along. They are just taking cover under the herdsmen to assault innocent citizens.
“They wake up in the night and slice innocent children to pieces. Yet, you have a government in place. What!
“The most honourable thing for any non-performing leader to do is to resign.
“The most honourable thing is to resign. That’s my own for Mr President. Resign! Get out of office!

I was live at this service.Not sure i heard him say he should resign but every other thing written is correct!
ReplyDeleteGod fight for this nation.
If Zimbabweans waited for God to fight for them, Mugabe would have still been there. Let's take the bull by the horn and flush this evil from our land.
DeleteLol funny man of gods. This election isn't business as usual so he is pained. Buhari isn't coming to give you so called religious leaders millions of dollars to mobilize your followers like past presidents did and he is still gonna win hands down. Stop being pained. Buhari is doing something right, that's why millions of Nigerians who know what's up are ready to vote for him again and die on top his matter. Anyone who doesn't want Buhari's rule should relocate to Niger Republic
ReplyDeletePlease can you outline the things he is doing right for us to talk about it? Waiting patiently to see you do that.
DeleteYou really are a Mr Nobody. What a senseless statement you have made.
DeleteEesah I'm a northerner but walahi talahi you are very stupid for this comment. You said buhari is doing something right? Really???? So because he's a fellow muslim we shouldn't say the truth even when needed? You are definitely one of those foolish ones brainwashed by those illiterate imams. Stupid fanatic!!!! I refuse to keep quiet and I put it to you that this killings will get to your doorstep... Northerners say no to buhari. No one in his right senses will support a man who sees killings and say/do nothing about it. Essah the vampire supporter welldone
DeleteIn your head eesah, you just said something, right?? Block head like you! Nigerians never had it this hard! The case of suicide, ritual killings, rape and the magnitude of bloodshed Nigeria is currently going through right now has surpassed the ones ever recorded in the history of this nation! Committing suicide as a way of escape from poverty and stuff is never our thing in Nigeria, Buhari’s government has broken the resilience of vibrant Nigerians, Idleness has led to men losing their senses to ritual killings as a way of getting out poverty, everyone is reacting negatively to the tide! And in your crazy world, you’ve lined up some dummies that will be hitting the election post for your Buhari???? Stella, please block this idiot, he’s finding it hard to be with the living! Let him go back to his congregation of the dead where he belong! Very insensitive idiot!
DeleteEESAH you be man wey sabi gbam!
Deleteand you must surly die on his matter
DeleteWhen the gods want to kill a man they first drive him mad. Buhari has failed to learn from history and will soon get served over his actions and inaction over the lives of innocent Nigerians lost under his very watch and protection.
ReplyDeleteBuhari should just leave we are tired. Pastor Oyedepo is on point.
DeleteI wished Adeboye can be bold e this. I am sure he is enjoying the government
ReplyDeleteHave you see or heard him talk politics before?So why should this be different
DeleteHe is not making noise cos he believes in action. I was like you before till I heard talks about pvc registration in church every sun, and with the way our pastors are talking about it means something is cooking hot. Just like 2015.
DeleteBelieve me he is not happy about what is going on, the rccg I worship with is planning something for 2015 with what I see and hear. Other christains and Nigeria should do more of acting than talking.
Mtchewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
DeleteGod bless you Bishop Oyedepo for voicing out. I remembered in 2015 you were the one of the few Pastors that spoke against his election and was tagged a wailer..whatever it will take God to redeem this nation from their satanic agenda, he will definitely do it. I know you and many Children of God worldwide will not relent and God will definitely hear us.
ReplyDeleteGood one pastor David👍
ReplyDeleteI trust my Okogie,our no Nonsense Emeritus.
Buahri pls go back 2 Daura we dont want u again....Is it by force??

Such a useless leader yet he wants to run for second term. Buhari resign and leave with the little diginity you have left. Zaria Buhari wouldn't come and speak about her failure father but if it is to post pictures upandan she gets A1
ReplyDeleteI swear gaaan. This man is a complete incompetent........... Who shouldn't even be in the villa in the first place.
DeleteThis is getting interesting....
ReplyDeleteNigerians are talking now👏👏👏
Oga Pastor tell your people because na dem go still vote for the Fulani herdsman.
ReplyDeleteKeep saying it Papa. There won't be any form of peace for the wicked!
ReplyDeleteGo papa!!!! 👍👍👍
ReplyDeleteHe should resign nau. That's the honorable thing to do. but we are in Africa where people instead of resigning for a better person to take over, will prefer to die there.
ReplyDeleteWell done my Bold Papa
ReplyDeleteGod will continue to honour and strength you.
A seven days fast and prayers for our country Nigeria was declared this week .
PMB should resign
ReplyDeleteStella did you watch the video yourself before posting this? I can't remember him saying the president should resign at the service except it was in another enough is enough service.
ReplyDeleteWell done sir.
ReplyDeleteMay God help Nigeria
ReplyDeleteYou all are chanting that the President should resign. Realize that these problems didn’t begin with this government. So is PDP the alternative?
ReplyDeleteLiving faith church is having a 7 days prayer and fasting for nigeria with other churches concerning the killing.
