Bishop David Oyedepo, president of Living Faith Church Worldwide, made those remarks on Thursday. He claimed that Nigeria does not require a leader but rather a deliverer.
The fiery man of God made the comment while preaching at the Shiloh program that is now taking place at the headquarters of the church in Ota, which is located in the state of Ogun.
Oyedepo, who decried the current state of economic and national security, issued a warning to the people of Nigeria to abstain from voting for the incumbent government in 2015.
He stated, "I believe that I am being inspired by the spirit that we need to pray for this nation. In 2015, I issued a warning to this country that we were headed into a crisis and tragedy, and many people responded by cleaning their mouths. They will not be working today.
"God does not require unanimity to elevate a prophet. I witnessed an entire country being taken advantage of, and it caused me to cry. There are a lot of politicians who have their own personal prophets who tell them what they want to hear.
"I have been extremely quiet because what we need right now is not a leader; what we need is a deliverer," she said. Almost little is left, with the exception of a religion that still qualifies as a nation.
On Thursday, the presidential candidate for the Labour Party, Peter Obi, was also in attendance during the night portion of the Shiloh 2022 Program.
After being introduced on day three of the program by the vice president of the ministry, Bishop David Abioye, he received a standing ovation from the audience that was quite enthusiastic.
