The special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has tackled the General Overseer of Living Faith Church (Winners Chapel) over his comment against the Buhari administration.

Oyedepo speaking during a recent programme in his church described Muhammadu Buhari’s administration as the most corrupt in the nation’s history while lamenting the level of hardship in the country.

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 striking university lecturers, Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

According to him; “Everything causing heaviness to people is attached to vengeance. 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, selfish, self-centred government.

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

“You heard of the Auditor General… 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.

“Thank you, Jesus, God has a reason, the light shall be liberated. The nation shall be recused in the name of Jesus.”

Reacting in a tweet on Tuesday, Adesina said “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 difference between Accountant General (only alleged) and Auditor General. Like OBJ said long ago, we should begin to ordain our own bishops”.

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 difference between Accountant General (only alleged) and Auditor General. Like OBJ said long ago, we should begin to ordain our own bishops.
