Leaked audio: I never campaigned for any politician, says Bishop Oyedepo

 David Oyedepo, founder of Winners Chapel, says he has never
campaigned for any political candidate before.

 

His comment comes amid backlash trailing alleged audio of
his conversation with Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP).

 

In the viral clip, a voice similar to that of Obi can be
heard asking the cleric to speak to the Christians in the south-west and Kwara
to vote for him in the presidential poll, describing the election as a
“religious war”.

 

Some supporters of Obi had described the audio as fake.

 

But Kenneth Okonkwo, a spokesperson of the LP campaign, said
the clip was authentic.

 

He, however, claimed “political criminals are trying to spin
the conversation as if the LP candidate was making a religious comment”.

Addressing his congregation on Sunday, Oyedepo said he will
not campaign for anyone “till I go to heaven”.

He claimed that nobody had ever told him what to say in this
world.

“Nobody had ever told me what to say in this world. No.”

Oyedepo stressed, “I have never campaigned for anybody or
spoken on anybody’s behalf and I will not do that till I go to heaven.

 

“There is no (political) party in this country that didn’t
come to me for prayers and advice.

 

“I advised them, some, they didn’t take. Those who chose to
take it saw results; those who said no are still going about it.

 

“If you still come again, I will still tell you, it doesn’t
change,” he maintained.
