The Founder of the Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has spoken on reports that he endorsed the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for the 2019 presidential election.

According to the cleric, who spoke at his church’s Sunday service in Canaan Land, Ota in Ogun State, he was only invited to broker peace between Atiku and his estranged principal, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and not to endorse anybody.

He added it would be wrong of him to endorse any political candidate as his members are in every political party in the country.

Oyedepo was one of many prominent Nigerians to accompanied Atiku to the Abeokuta residence of Obasanjo to settle a longstanding rift between them.

In his words, “I am aware Winners are in every political party in Nigeria but I don’t belong to any party. I was only invited to make peace. I don’t force myself on people because I am too busy.”

However, Oyedepo said he cries over incessant loss of lives in Nigeria, while decrying the frequent killings in Plateau State and other parts of the country.

“The recent killings in Plateau State ýis a moral assault on our nation. Nobody is qualified to be morally right, if he does not have feelings for loss of lives. I know how many times I cried over the killings in Nigeria. Some people claimed responsibility and nothing happened to them.

“The effect of the 30 months civil war is still with us. We won’t see war again in Nigeria. Those who want to see it, will be cut down,” he stated.
