Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel has come under attack for criticising the reopening of markets while churches remained closed in Nigeria.
They criticised Oyedepo for taking such stance, adding that the church is not essential like the market, hence the closure should not be politicised.@Justinabenson10 “It is quite simple for me, churches aren’t running “essential services” like our markets offer.
