Babatunde speaks about Bishop Oyedepo
He said:
“I believe Bishop Oyedepo is an ordained servant of God. Even if some people think a cleric is not sent by God, once the message is a warning, it is better to listen and pray about it. Had people listened to his warning that year, perhaps what we are experiencing now might have been avoided. I just pray that God will heal our country. The insecurity and loss of lives are too much."
