Bishop Oyedepo reacts to viral ‘Yes Daddy’ audio

An audio conversation between the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi and the founder of Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun State, Bishop Oyedepo entitled ‘Yes Daddy’  that surfaced yesterday has continued to generate reactions from Nigerians.

In the audio, Obi was heard  asking Oyedepo to help spread his message to Christians in the South-West and parts of North-Central.

It reads  “Daddy, I need you to speak to your people in the South-West and Kwara, the Christians in the South-West and Kwara,” Mr Obi was heard saying in the leaked audio clip. “This is a religious war.”

“I believe that, I believe that, I believe that,” Mr Oyedepo responded with Mr Obi saying on the other side of the phone that “If this works, you people will never regret the support.”

Meanwhile in his reactions to the audio,  Oyedepo said on Sunday that he never campaigned for any politician or spoken on their behalf in the build-up to the general elections.

Oyedepo, while speaking to the congregation at the church’s headquarters, Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun State, said, “I have never campaigned for anybody or spoken on anybody’s behalf and I will not do that till I go to heaven.

“There is no (political) party in this country that didn’t come to me for prayers and advice.
