Bishop David Oyedepo, Senior Pastor of the Living Faith Church, has declared that Fulani herdsmen are a menace in Nigeria and that he knows that they are being sponsored.
He made the statement while preaching in church, after herders under the Miyetti Allah Kauta Hore said they will not recognize the Southern governors’ anti-grazing policy, describing it as ‘satanic.’
Oyedepo said the last five years from 2015 till now has been the worst in the history of Nigeria.
”Fulani herdsmen have become a menace. They are sponsored. I know it. There are things you think you know that God shows to prophets. The things they are calling findings now, I found it longest time. You don’t need intelligence antenna as a Prophet to find it.
I saw this government coming in with a bloodthirsty cloth and I cried.
The worst time in the history of Nigeria is 2015 to now and it is getting worse day by day.
The end has finally come.
Apart from us in the Jesus family, many have never had a smile in the last five years on our street. We don’t have records so we don’t know how many have committed suicide.”
The clergyman dismissed insinuations that he has been speaking because he is interested in running for Presidency
”If they dash me presidency, I wouldn’t take it. I knew that 1984, not now. I am not talking about Presidency. It is not an area I am called to. It is a very great office. It is not my calling.”
