Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of Living Faith
Church, also known as Winners Chapel has criticized the government over the
closure of schools in Nigeria.
Most states in Nigeria as at Friday ordered the closure of
schools till further notice as the country battles the spread of Coronavirus.
Also, Lagos government cancelled gathering of more than 20
person after new cases were recorded on Saturday bringing a total number of
cases in Nigeria to 27.
But, Oyedepo who held a service on Sunday and shunned
government directive on religious gatherings, said the closure of schools was
not a right decision by government in curbing the spread of Coronavirus.
According to him, the only disease that has no cure is
hunger.
Oyedepo said: “May God help our policy makers to make the
right decision in finding solution to this scourge called Coronavirus.
“How can you close school and ask them to go home.
“You are sending them for where they are more secured to
where they would be exposed to the disease.
“You are sending them away from where they are not more than
20 back home to go and sell pepper for their mothers in the market where there
are more people.
“You block people from having access to malls in the name of
preventing a disease but you don’t know that the only disease that doesn’t have
cure is hunger.
“May God help our leaders to make the right decision in
search of solution to this pandemic.”
Oyedepo had earlier said the cure for COVID-19 will be out
soon and nations will rejoice.
