Popular UK based Nigerian comedian, Wale Gates has called out the founder of the megachurch Faith Tabernacle and Living Faith Church, David Oyedepo, over his tweet.
Wale Gates is very controversial and critical about the government, religion, family and the society at large.
Wale Gates while responding to Oyedepo’s prayer, asked if the church will stop collecting money from patients that visit their medical hospitals.
The wealthiest pastor in Nigeria, Oyedepo tweeted,
”An end has come to spending your money on hospital bills in Jesus name!”
The fitness enthusiast, Wale, responded,
“Amen. But Winners Chapel owns and runs some Private hospitals and medical centers. Are the Gilead Medical Centers and it’s affiliates free to all now?”
The clergyman’s twitter handle is yet to respond to this question.
