Oyedepo Speaks On US Visa Story

Bishop David Oyedepo, the presiding bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, otherwise known as Winners’ Chapel has opened up on the relationship between him and the United States Mission in Nigeria.

He spoke in response to the report of his denial of a United States visa by the United States consulate in Lagos as was reported by a national newspaper and some other online portals (not GreenWhiteGreen).

Responding on behalf of the bishop, the chairman of the church’s editorial and media board, Prof. Sheriff Folarin, flatly denied the entire story of Oyedepo’s denial of a visa saying the bishop was not even in the embassy as reported.

He said:

“We wish to put it on record and categorically submit that this piece of information is NOT TRUE. At no time was the Bishop denied visa, nor did he create a scene at the US consulate in Lagos, as purported by some mainstream and online newspapers.”

“The Bishop renewed his visa, last year, without any initial denial or drama, or scene. The Bishop was NOT at the Embassy or Consulate yesterday or even anytime this year. Bishop has been in Canaanland all this week. The last time he applied for visa, which was last year, he was issued without delay.”

“Bishop Oyedepo is a good friend of the US government and has a very good relationship with US Embassy and Consulate in Nigeria. He is a social entrepreneur, who has touched so many lives in Nigeria, Africa, United States and all around the world.”
