With our population we can determine who governs us – Bishop Oyedepo to church members

Bishop David Oyedepo of the Living Faith Church has said the church will have a say in the coming election, citing the numerical strength of the organization.

Oyedepo, who spoke on Sunday while delivering a sermon titled, ‘Breaking the Curses of Life’, during a service at Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State, urged worshippers to ensure that they obtain their Permanent Voter Cards, PVCs, ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The clergyman described participation in the electoral process as a civic responsibility, stating that members of the church have the right to determine who becomes their leaders.

Addressing the congregation, the cleric said Christians should actively participate in determining who governs the country rather than remaining indifferent to political processes.

“We have a civic responsibility as responsible citizens of our various nations.

“We are not passers-by in our nations. We are bona fide citizens of the nation and we have a right to participate in who governs us.

“We have a right to determine who rules us. And this church, with the millions that we have, has a say in it. So be part of it,” he said.
