The founder of Living Faith Church, Bishop David Oyedepo, has declared that Nigeria can never be Islamised.
Bishop Oyedepo made the statement during his sermon at the church headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, in response to reports of genocide in Nigeria.
His declaration comes just days after the United States carried out airstrikes on a terrorist base in Sokoto State on Christmas Day.
The clergyman recalled how God assured him that the battle against terrorism is already won, noting that foreign interest in combating terror in Nigeria subsequently increased.
According to Oyedepo: “For the first time in nearly 20 years the persecutors are smelling, I said it with a very loud sound of the trumpet that Nigeria will never be Islamised and can never be Islamised.
“Every form of Islamic agenda for this nation is dead and buried. I’m not only happy but I’m overjoyed and jubilating over the faithfulness of God.
“The battle is won, how many heard me when I said God said to me I have heard you and I have stepped in.
“There was no foreign interest from anywhere when I said that and interests began to arise around the world. Finally the battle is over.
“Genocide or no genocide is not the issue, are there killings? Who are the greater victims of these killings? Who are their primary targets?”
