Femi Adesina who is the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari has on Tuesday claimed that the founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, harbours a lot of ingrown hatred for the Nigerian president.

Recall that Oyedepo had described Buhari’s government as the most wicked and corrupt in the history of Nigeria.

Speaking during a church programme, Special Prayer for The Nation on Monday, Oyedepo had lamented the level of hardship imposed on Nigerians through corruption.

According to Oyedepo, the Federal Government claimed to be fighting corruption, but the officials are also corrupt.

He said the N80 billion allegedly stolen by the Accountant General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris would be enough to meet the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, which led to the shutting down of schools since April 14.

Reacting, Adesina said Oyedepo doesn’t understand the difference between the Accountant General and the Auditor General of the Federation.

In a tweet, Adesina wrote: “The bishop at Ota can’t even get his facts right. Blinded by hatred for PMB, he says Auditor General stole N80bn.

“Pity! He doesn’t know the difference between Accountant General (only alleged) and Auditor General. Like OBJ said long ago, we should begin to ordain our own bishops.”

Oyedepo had said:

“Many children are out of school, there is nothing to pay to get them back to school. We saw some folks in Covenant University that we had to help out to graduate. First-class students can’t get N30,000 to pay under this wicked government, selfish, self-centered.

“What a fight against corruption? You were all deceived, you can’t be in corruption and be fighting corruption. This is the most corrupt regime in the history of Nigeria.

“You heard of Auditor General who stole N80 billion, all they need to get the university up and running is less than the N80 billion but they are not interested because their children are not there.”
