The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria has declined comment
on the sacking of some pastors by the Living Faith Church Worldwide aka
Winners’ Chapel.
Efforts by our correspondent to get the reaction of the
National President of PFN, Bishop Wale Oke, on the issue was not successful.
The media aide to the PFN president, Mr Kayode Oladeji, said
his principal would not comment on the sacking.
He said, “No, Bishop Oke won’t comment on that issue. Let’s
forget about it.”
According to a letter of termination of appointment
addressed to one of the affected pastors which is trending on social media, the
church sacked them for lack of church growth in their parishes.
The LFC which is headed by Bishop David Oyedepo in a letter
dated June 25, 2021 and signed by the Executive Secretary of the church,
Adebisi Aboluwade, communicated the sacking of the affected pastors to them and
asked them to vacate their official accommodation and hand over their identity
cards to their respective area pastors.
One of the affected pastors, Peter Godwin, however, claimed
that he and others were sacked for their failure to grow the income of their
various parishes.
The issue has divided Nigerians some of whom have supported
the action of the church while others have castigated the church for being
profit-oriented.
