David Oyedepo an ignoramus blinded by hatred for Buhari: Femi Adesina

Femi Adesina, spokesperson for President Muhammadu Buhari, has berated Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church as an illiterate blinded by hatred for Mr Buhari.
Speaking in his church headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, Mr Oyedepo, a critic of the Buhari regime, had in a sermon decried the rate of corruption under Mr Buhari.
“What a fight against corruption? You were all deceived. You can’t be in corruption and be fighting corruption. The most corrupt regime in the history of Nigeria,” Mr Oyedepo said.
Referring to the recent arrest of the Accountant-General of the Federation, Ahmed Idris, over an allegation of corruption, the cleric said, “You heard of the Auditor-General… N80 billion. All they need to get the university up and running is less than the N80 billion, but they are not interested because their children are not there.”
In response, Mr Adesina took to his Twitter handle to describe the cleric as an illiterate who cannot differentiate between Auditor-General and Accountant-General.
“The bishop at Ota can’t even get his facts right. Blinded by hatred for PMB, he says Auditor General stole N80bn. Pity! He doesn’t know difference between Accountant General (only alleged) and Auditor General. Like OBJ said long ago, we should begin to ordain our own bishops,” Mr Adesina tweeted.
The recent arrest of the Accountant-General by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over allegations of corruption, elicited criticism against the Buhari-led regime as Nigerians once again questioned the sincerity of the regime’s anti-corruption fight.
