Speaking on how his relationship with Bishop Oyedepo started, Abioye said it was on an informal note.
His words:
“My journey with Bishop Oyedepo began informally on relationship. The years of service is formal and normal.
“The official engagement has a lifespan, so relationship continues. But it is just an exit from the systemic policy and provision. And so, relationship continues, which is what I believe should happen just anywhere. Relationship cannot be broken.”
