Reports about the duo’s conversation regarding the just concluded election occupied the social media space after an online news outlet made the publication.
The audio claimed Obi was appealing to the Bishop to help solicit votes from Christians in the South-West.
Obi had allegedly told the Bishop presidential election was a religious war as such he needed votes in that region.
The audio voice had said:
“Daddy, I need you to speak to your people in the South-West and Kwara, the Christians in the South-West and Kwara. This is a religious war. Like I keep saying: if this works, you people will never regret the support.”
However, reacting to the controversy Oyedepo said he never spoke to any group of people on behalf of any politician.
He said:
“Nobody had ever told me what to say in this world. No. I have never campaigned for anybody or speak on anybody’s behalf and I will not do that till I go to heaven.
“There is no (political) party in this country that didn’t come to me for prayers and advice. I advised them, some, they didn’t take. Those who chose to take it, they see results; those who said no, they are going about it (laughs). If you still come again, I will still tell you, it doesn’t change.”
