Bishop David Oyedepo, general supervisor of the Living Faith Church, a.k.a. Winners Chapel, has described the controversial bill of hate speech as a’ crazy idea.’
The bill passing its second reading is intended to criminalize speech of hate with prison term. It is sponsored by Senator Sabi Abdullahi, Deputy Chief Whip.
Speaking at Shiloh 2019, Oyedepo said:
“Hate speech is one of the most crazy idea ever. You say something truthful about them and they call it is hate speech? You can’t silence a man of God because he is called by God.
“A prophet is answerable to God only, what God tells him he will say. You cannot stand for God and be a loser. I don’t know if anyone loves Nigeria more than I do. Imagine they are not hanging killers, they want to hang ‘hate speakers?
“ Anyways that is dead already if the wicked will not stop his wickedness God will stop his wickedness.”
