Abioye sends message to Oyedepo after retirement

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that Bishop Abioye had sent a message to Bishop David Oyedepo after retiring from Winners Chapel.

Abioye’s retirement follows a review of the church’s administrative policy, called The Mandate. The retirement age for leaders at the church has been pegged at 55. Only David Oyedepo, founder of the church, aged 70, can now serve for life, according to the new policy.

The Mandate stipulates that future leaders of the church will be restricted to one or two terms of seven years, pending approval by the Board of Trustees (BoT). Following Bishop Abioye’s retirement, a valedictory service was held for him at the Winners Chapel, Abuja.
