I bought helicopter with my personal money – Oyedepo

Published

Bishop David Oyedepo, President, Living Faith Worldwide, has said he did not use church’s money to buy his private helicopter.

The Bishop said he bought it with his own money and that he could drive the helicopter anywhere.

Oyedepo spoke during a service at Faith Tabernacle, Ota, Ogun State on Sunday.

The Bishop said the Lord spoke to him years ago that He would through this Ministry raise the foundations of many other ministries.

“I was in a place the other time, almost every vibrant Ministry went through Bible School, almost everyone. One of them said, he was in Primary School in Kaduna when they started bringing him to Church. Fire!

God never lies. If you are interested, He wants to make a giant of you; if you are not interested, nobody can be interested on your behalf. It’s just you.

”All the place I used to trek bearing this gospel and enjoying the insults of people, I fly my helicopter across the place today,” he said.

Oyedepo added: “In our time, you will be very mad to think that a Pastor will fly helicopter. You must be mad, you mustn’t say so.

”I bought it with my money ooo, not your Church money. I can go to my village 20 times if I want.
I have a vow with Jesus, His money will never miss its road to my pocket,” he said, as reported by Church Gist.

The cleric stated: “Jesus: His Church never paid a dime in our children going to School, but rather we are giving people scholarship on our own.

“Just do what He says, you are too busy trying to do these things yourself, it won’t work. Whatever He tells you to do, do it!

“My prayer is that the giant in you will not go to the grave with you. The things loaded with you to bless your world, your generation, will not go to the grave with you.”

The Defence Headquarters has declared eight persons wanted in connection to the killing of army personnel in Okuama community, Delta state.

The 17 army personnel were killed on March 14 during an operation in the community.

 

Among those declared wanted are Ekpekpo Arthur, a professor of physics at the Delta State University; Akeywiru Omotegbono, Andaowei Bakrikri, Igoli Ebi, a lady; Akata David, Sinclear Oliki, Clement Oghenerukevwe and Reuben Baru.

The names of the deceased soldiers are A.H Ali, D.E Obi, S.D. Ashafa, U. Zakari, Yahaya Saidu, Danbaba Yahaya, Kabir Bashir, Abdullahi Ibrahim, Bulus Haruna, Sole Opeyemi, Bello Anas, Alhaji Isah, Clement Francis, Abubakar Ali, Adamu Ibrahim, Hamman Peter, and Ibrahim Adamu.

After the killing of the army personnel, President Bola Tinubu and the military high command promised that the perpetrators would be brought to justice.

On Wednesday, the personnel were buried at the military cemetery in Abuja and were posthumously conferred with national honours by President Tinubu.

The president also offered scholarships to children of the late officers.

 

Speaking during the burial ceremony of the late personnel, Taoreed Lagbaja, chief of army staff (COAS), said it was “highly demoralising” that the soldiers were killed by those they were equipped to protect.

The army chief added that it took over 72 hours of searching to recover the vital organs of some of the deceased soldiers.

 

He added that the Nigerian Army exercised “a lot of restraint” in the search for missing arms and body parts of the deceased soldiers.

 

The army chief also said some of the widows of the slain officers are pregnant.

 

“The Okuama killing has added to the care of the Nigerian Army and, by extension, the Nigerian state, 10 widows, three of whom are four, five, and eight months pregnant, 21 orphans, and many other dependents, which include parents,” Lagbaja said.

We didn’t monitor Labour Party national convention, says INEC

Published

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it did not monitor the national convention of the Labour Party (LP).

 

Recall that on Wednesday, the LP conducted its national convention at the Grand Seasons Hotel, in Nnewi, Anambra state.

Julius Abure was re-elected as chairman of the party at the convention.

However, Rotimi Oyekanmi, media aide to Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, said that the conduct of the convention was not monitored by the electoral umpire.

Oyekanmi did not specify why INEC did not monitor the convention.

The convention was initially slated for March 29 but was later changed to March 27. The leadership of the party had said the date was changed because the initial day falls on Good Friday, a very important date for the Christian faithful across the world.

The venue was also changed from Abia to Anambra.

 

Speaking on the change of venue, Kehinde Edun, LP national legal adviser, said the party duly informed INEC about the change in venue and date.

“So, we are at liberty to pick any venue of our choice. We only need to inform INEC about the change in venue and the time,” Edun said.

 

There have been calls for the party to suspend its national convention.

 

On March 17, the house of representatives caucus of the LP called for the suspension of the convention to enable the party “properly plan” the event.

 

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has described Abure’s re-election as “an illegality”.

 

On March 16, the NLC and LP traded words over calls for the suspension of the party’s convention and resignation of Abure as chairman of the party.
