Oyedepo Urges Tinubu to Prioritize Security Over Bus Preaching

During a church service, Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, criticized the Nigerian government's proposed amendment to the Federal Road Safety Commission Act, which would sanction preaching in commercial vehicles. He emphasized that the government should focus on the pressing issue of insecurity rather than regulating religious activities in public transportation.

Oyedepo highlighted the severe impact of insecurity on citizens, stating that many cannot sleep in their homes due to fear. He expressed frustration over the government's lack of action against ongoing violence, questioning the value placed on human life.

The bishop condemned those responsible for the violence, asserting that they are being sponsored and calling for decisive measures to restore safety. His remarks come amid public discourse on the proposed amendment, which has sparked varied reactions from religious groups and the public regarding its implications.
