Okorocha (L), And Bishop Oyedepo

Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha says the State is fortified by the Holy Ghost.

The Governor spoke when received the General Overseer, Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedopo at Government House, Owerri.

 A statement from the office of the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor, stated that  the Governor commended the Living Faith Church for the role it was playing in uplifting the spiritual lives of people and promoting education in the country by building one of the best universities – The Covenant University.

 In his response, the General Overseer, Living Faith Church Worldwide, a.k.a. Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedopo, has said that the Boko Haram onslaught in Nigeria was beyond politics.
Oyedopo, who made this remark on Tuesday, during his visit to the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, at the Government House in Owerri, expressed the need for government at all levels to join in the fight against terrorism to ensure a peaceful and united Nigeria.

He stated that prompt action by government at every level was needed to check the menace of terrorism in the country.

Oyedepo’s visit to Okorocha is coming on the heels of the discovery of two explosives at a branch of the Winners Chapel in Owerri on Saturday.


The cleric expressed gratitude to the governor for the quick intervention made to avert the planned disaster by suspected Boko Haram members.

Explaining that the incessant Boko Haram attacks had taken a toll on Nigeria, Oyedepo lamented that the nation was being plagued by the insurgence from the violent Islamic sect.

He, however, prayed for God’s intervention in the fight against terrorism and grant the country’s leaders the wisdom to tackle the problem.
