Bishop Oyedepo: I Didn't Build Covenant University with Tithes and Offerings

The respected general overseer of Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo has reacted to insinuations in certain quarters that he is ripping off church members through Tithes and Offering to live in affluence and cruising in private jets, while some of his congregation do not have enough food to eat.

Below is how the man of God reacted to the allegations:

"The last time Church paid my salary was December 1987, nobody heard it, not even the Ministers in the church until 1997 and church members didn’t hear this until 2007″. 

“In January of 1988, my wife asked me of money for feeding and I told her I had give my salary to God, and that was the last time she ever had to ask for feeding till date.”

Responding to accusations that he uses poor people’s money to build universities and turn around to fix school fees that the same poor people can’t afford to pay, Bishop Oyedepo simply said: 

“Covenant university was built within 7 months without any collection of any one naira -- tithes and offerings or donation of any kind from anywhere.”
