Obasanjo's Alleged Oil Wells for Pastors Denied by Churches

Allegations have emerged claiming that former President Olusegun Obasanjo distributed oil wells to prominent pastors during his tenure. Rev. Mosy Madugba, founder and President of the Ministers' Prayer Network, made these claims in a sermon that gained traction on social media.

He specifically named Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church Worldwide, and Pastor William Kumuyi of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry as recipients of the alleged oil wells. However, representatives from the churches have strongly refuted these claims, labeling them as baseless and without proof.

A senior media aide to Pastor Kumuyi described the allegations as "ridiculous," emphasizing that Kumuyi's focus is solely on ministry work. Patrick Nkamiang, Director of Media at Living Faith Church, pointed out that Nigeria's petroleum resources are regulated by federal law, making such allocations impossible at a president's discretion.

The churches have not indicated plans for legal action against Madugba, preferring to leave the matter to divine judgment.
