Shiloh 2025: Man speaks about Abioye's absence
This year’s Shiloh was the second after the retirement of Bishop David Abioye as the vice president of the Winners Chapel, after serving with Oyedepo for 44 years.
On his Facebook page, Tosin Odeje shared his observations about Abioye's absence at the annual event.
The man's Facebook post read:
"Ahithophel directed Absalom to sleep with his father’s concubines in the open to strengthen his kingdom, and all Israel would know that there was no going back. That was a very powerful idea, and it sent the signal to David.
"Do you understand the meaning of Bishop Abioye fixing his new church programme on the same day as Shiloh? And he didn't show up either. Well, it may not be special, it might not even be intentional, but it has sent a signal to everyone regardless.
"Bishop Abioye and Rev. Tom Amenkhienan were once presented as symbols of loyalty to the younger generation of pastors and assistants. But now, a message has been passed down. Many people have still not realised that the church is being run both for impact and for profit, it's sad though.
"Therefore, you do not want to labour all your life in a place where authority can be taken away from you one day. Pay attention to this story and learn your lesson. May the Lord give you understanding."
