The presiding bishop of Living Faith Ministries aka Winners Chapel International David Oyedepo has accused the Buhari administration of having no value for lives, stating his support for the #EndSARS protests in the country.
Oyedepo said during his sermon on Sunday that the youth have the right to express their displeasure on the current situation in the country.
Oyedepo said he had been silent on the issue so far because he warned Nigerians in 2015.
“Every man has a right, legitimately so, to express their displeasure and pains,” he said.
“I kept quiet for a while because in 2015 I warned this nation, vehemently, consistently, because I saw the dangers ahead and you can tell. The most gruesome season in the history of the nation is the last five years where lives have no value, wanton killings here and there.
“Now they have faced the youth and because they don’t know who is next, they have the right to say ‘enough is enough’. Any system that has no value for human lives is irrelevant. If they were killed when they were youths, would they be where they are today?
“It would be a sacrilege to shoot the protesters who are not looting, who are not ravaging.
“When you push a goat to the wall then you will know that goats have teeth to bite. It is a sacrilege to kill youths during a protest, this protest is legitimate.”
Oyedepo joins a host of other preachers like Enoch Adeboye, Sam Adeyemi, Tunde Bakare, Johnson Suleiman and others who have publicly supported #EndSARS campaign.
