Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church (also known as Winners Chapel) says the church will have influence in the coming election because of its large membership. Speaking on Sunday during a sermon titled “Breaking the Curses of Life” at Canaanland in Ota, Ogun State, he urged worshippers to participate actively in Nigeria’s electoral process. Oyedepo framed voting and electoral participation as a civic responsibility and said church members have a right to help decide who governs them. He also urged congregants to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of the 2027 general elections, arguing that Christians should not remain indifferent to politics. According to his remarks, the church’s “millions” of members translate into political weight, and therefore the congregation should be involved rather than passive. Both outlets present the statement as a call for voters’ engagement focused on securing PVCs and taking part in choosing leaders.
