The man, identified on the microblogging platform X as @Prestigious_Gt, shared a video of the cleric preaching during a church service.

In the video, Bishop Oyedepo spoke about his early spiritual experience, recounting how he gave his life to God at the age of 15.

@PwettyTem commented:

"I look at him every time and I thank God he connected me to him spiritually.

I listen to his teachings everyday btw.

If you come close to me, you will feel the connectivity.

My mind set is very different from the norms."

@lordleomax said:

"He won't do better as the president of this country. When they say the problem of this country is leadership, they are not referring to the lack of quality personalities that will lead but how we conceive, confer and idealise leadership in this part of the world."

@O_S_Samuel commented:

"Bishop oyedepo is truly blessed but don't ever imagine him being the president, he might fail woefully."
