Bishop Oyedepo: Running for Nigerian President in 2023 is a demotion for me.

Bishop David Oyedepo, the presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel around the world, has announced that he will not run for president in the 2023 elections.

Oyedepo described running for President of Nigeria as a demotion, adding that he has called for a global impact.

He said this during a leadership summit that was broadcast around the world.

Although he believes in Nigeria, he believes it is too late for him to run for the country’s highest political office.

Oyedepo said, “I believe in Nigeria and that’s why I am still here, and still praying for Nigeria. But I consider it a demotion if I am invited to become the president of Nigeria. I am called for a global impact. I saw this in 1984. Even the devil knows that you can’t be genuinely sold-out to serving God, and not stand out in life.”

Pastor Tunde Bakare, and current Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, both pastors of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, have come out to obtain presidential nomination forms in a bid to become the country’s number one citizen (RCCG).
