Bishop Oyedepo Warns Nigerians Against ‘Destructive Government’ Ahead of 2027 Elections

Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo, has issued a strong warning to Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections, cautioning against voting for what he described as a “destructive government.”

Speaking during a recent church gathering, Oyedepo reportedly urged members of his congregation and Nigerians at large to be more discerning in their political choices, emphasizing that the nation can not afford leadership that undermines unity and progress.

According to remarks circulating across multiple platforms, the cleric stated that members of his church would not “play the fool” again by supporting leadership that could negatively impact the country’s stability and future.

Although he did not explicitly mention any political party or candidate, Oyedepo’s comments appeared to reference ongoing national conversations around governance, religious balance, and electoral decisions.

The influential preacher, known for his outspoken views on national issues, has in the past called for responsible leadership and citizen participation in shaping Nigeria’s future. His latest remarks are expected to further fuel political discourse as the country gradually approaches the next election cycle.

Political analysts say statements from prominent religious leaders like Oyedepo often carry significant weight, particularly among large followings, and could influence voter sentiment ahead of 2027.

As political activities begin to gain momentum, stakeholders continue to call for peaceful, issue-based campaigns and informed voter participation across the country.
