Boko Haram, beyond politics -Oyedepo

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.
In a statement by Mr. William Unadike on behalf of the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor, 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.
Responding, Okorocha thanked Oyedepo for his visit and assured that government would not relent in its efforts to ensure the security of lives and property of residents in the state.
He pointed out that the security and progress of Imo State was anchored on God, adding that the state observes 10 minutes daily devotion to God.
“Imo state is fortified by the Holy Ghost,” the governor said.
He 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.
Okorocha appealed to the Oyedepo to build a campus of the university in Imo State, just as he assured that the state would provide the land for the project.
