Stephen Akintayo, a prominent entrepreneur, has said it is not true that Bishop David Abioye, the first vice-president of the Living Faith Church, better known as Winners Chapel, “was pushed out”.
Akintayo attended the retirement valedictory service held in Abioye’s honour at Living Faith Church, Goshen, Abuja, on Friday, October 18.
Akintayo said he is privileged to have been aware of Bishop Abioye’s departure “for over a year”, but his “first worry was the internal management of the issue”. …CONTINUE READING
In a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) page, Akintayo, a friend of Winners Chapel leaders, explained that Abioye was never interested in taking over from Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of the popular church..
The inspirational speaker cautioned Bishop Abioye’s critics who he said have no idea of the many years of sacrifice made by the 63-year-old.
He wrote: “I want to advise everyone worried to know this for Sure! Bishop Abioye is happy to retire and wasn’t forced out in any way. He has been looking forward to retiring in peace with no scandal or issues with his beloved mentor, and tonight (Friday, October 18) is a witness to that.
“When I got to Goshen, I immediately went to see him, had a brief private moment, and saw that he was happy. “As for Bishop Oyedepo, he is aware he will miss Bishop Abioye too well, and I saw him pray from the depth of his heart, same with mummy’s faith, that the next phase for Bishop Abioye should be tremendous and way more glorious.”
