Resign! Get out of office!
These are the orders given to President Muhammadu Buhari by the founder and presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, popularly known as Winners’ Chapel, David Oyedepo.
Oyedepo gave the order following the incessant killings in different parts of the country by Fulani herdsmen and the refusal of the government to arrest and prosecute them.
According to him, the most honourable thing for the president to do in view of the failure of the president to arrest the situation was to resign.
His words: “The most honourable thing for any non-performing leader to do is to resign. The most honourable thing is to resign. That’s my own for Mr President. Resign! Get out of office!”
The order was given in a Youtube video on the official page of the church in which he spoke on the theme: “Enough is enough.”
He stressed that he was not being partisan but being truthful about the way he felt.

His words: “When I was talking in 2015, people were saying my own was too much, now everybody can see what’s happening. What has moved forward in anybody’s life? You don’t know it’s war. Why are they attacking the Christian communities? Why has nobody been arrested? I can tell you this, the authorities and the powers that be are behind them.
“I will never be partisan; Jesus got me out of it in 1984. But I will not be alive to see innocent people massacred.
“We must wake up and push this evil back. Not one of those so-called herdsmen – they are jihadists – has been brought to book till date. Herdsmen don’t shoot; they have been here all along. They are just taking cover under the herdsmen to assault innocent citizens. They wake up in the night and slice innocent children to pieces. Yet, you have a government in place. What!
“The most honourable thing for any non-performing leader to do is to resign. The most honourable thing is to resign. That’s my own for Mr President. Resign! Get out of office! Even our Islamic friends in the North are calling on him (Buhari) to resign because that’s the noblest thing to do. Or are we going to look at one system destroy a whole nation?
“I’m going to say this and I’m not going to be tired. This (Nigeria) will never be a Fulani republic. That is not our terms of agreement. It will remain a secular nation till Jesus returns. It’s not just (about) land, it’s (about) heritage.
“Forever, I stand on the fact that no government has the authority to collect land from those who own it and transfer it to another person because on the other side (presumably the north), it never happens.”
