The Presiding Bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has publicly criticised the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, marking his first major political commentary in about three years. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The cleric made the remarks while addressing members of his congregation at the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, on Wednesday, February 18, 2026.
During his sermon, Oyedepo questioned the performance and accountability of the current administration, urging leaders to accept honest feedback.
According to him:
“You’re not doing well; you’re not doing well. They must tell you that you’re not doing well. What’s your problem? Hear me, please, tell me. Is this government doing well?”
His comments quickly gained attention across social media, with many Nigerians debating the state of the nation and the role of religious leaders in political discourse.
The statement has sparked mixed reactions nationwide. While some citizens praised the bishop for speaking out, others argued that religious leaders should remain neutral in political matters.
Oyedepo has previously made comments on governance and national development, but he had largely refrained from direct political criticism in recent years before this latest statement.
