A former Kogi State Senator, Dino Melaye, has said that he did not attend Shiloh 2024, the annual convention of the Living Faith Church Worldwide because he found it strange that Bishop David Abioye was forcefully retired.
Melaye queried the retirement of Bishop Abioye on account of age, when Bishop Oyedepo who is older is still serving.
“I did not attend Shiloh 2024. Because Shiloh without Bishop Abioye is somehow. I can’t understand why Bishop Oyedepo, who is older, is not retired, and it is Bishop Abioye who is younger that should be forcefully retired,” Melaye tweeted, further alleging that the decision was man-made rather than divinely orchestrated.
“God did not retire Abioye, only Oyedepo did. Let’s watch,” he added in an X post on his official account on Sunday.
Shiloh 2024 was held between December 10th and 15th, 2024.
The church retired its two Vice-Presidents, Bishops Abioye and Thomas Aremu in October after serving for over four and three decades respectively.
