Tuesday, August 4, 2026 -The General Overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has asked the Federal Government to shift full focus to tackling the country’s security challenges rather than trying to stop preaching in commercial buses.
Oyedepo made the call in reaction to the proposed amendment
to the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, Act, that would punish individuals
found preaching in commercial vehicles.
The cleric wondered why the government is prioritising the
issue of bus preaching when insecurity is ravaging the country.
The General Overseer noted that insecurity deserves more
attention than religious activities conducted in public transportation.
According to him, the government should direct its energy
towards protecting the lives of the Nigerians.
He noted that restoring safety across the country should
take precedence over policies targeting religious preaching in buses.
“There are people who cannot sleep in their homes because of
insecurity, yet the concern is preaching in buses. That should not be the
issue,” the bishop said.
