Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina has said that popular cleric, Bishop David Oyedepo was “blinded by hatred” when he described the Muhammadu Buhari administration as the “most wicked and corrupt” in Nigeria’s history.
Adesina stated this in a tweet on Tuesday.

Speaking during church service on Sunday, Oyedepo had said, “Many children are out of school. There is nothing to pay to get them to school. We saw some folks in Covenant that we had to help out to graduate. N30,000, first class graduates can’t get the money under this wicked government, selfish, self-centered.
“What a fight against corruption. You were all deceived. You can’t be in corruption and fight corruption — the most corrupt regime in the history of Nigeria.
“You heard of auditor-general, N80 billion. All they need to pay for the universities to be up and running is less than N80 billion. Are they interested? Their children are not there,” Oyedepo said.
Adesina however reminded the cleric that it was the Accountant-General of the Federation, and not Auditor-General, that was at the centre of an N80 billion fraud investigation.
“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,” Adesina tweeted.
