The Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church, Bishop Olaniyi Oyedepo was in Imo State on Tuesday after last Sunday’s foiled bomb attack on a Living Faith Church Headquarter in Owerri.

He used the opportunity to say a quick hello to Imo State Governor Okorocha where he thanked him for the quick intervention of security operatives that averted the planned tragedy.

Bishop Oyedepo said the nation was being plagued by Boko Haram insurgency, which had taken a great toll on the lives and property of innocent Nigerians and prayed God to intervene as well as imbue the nation’s leaders with the wisdom to stem the growing cancer of insurgency and terrorism.

Oyedepo, who stressed that prompt action was needed by government at all levels to keep terrorism under check, noted that Boko Haram was beyond politics and urged all to join hands to fight the menace to ensure a peaceful and united Nigeria.

Okorocha commended Oyedepo for his visit and assured that the state government was not relenting in its efforts to ensure security of lives and property of residents.

He pointed out that the security and progress of Imo State were anchored on God as the state observed 10 minutes daily devotion to God. “Imo State is fortified by the Holy Ghost,” he maintained.

Okorocha commended the Living Faith Church for its role in uplifting the spiritual lives and promoting education in the country.

The Governor also used the opportunity to appealed to Oyedepo to build a Covenant University campus in Imo State. He promised to provide the land free of charge.

    Thank God for averting this tragedy. Only God knows what could have happened if they had succeeded in bombing the church.
