Tinubu Administration Under Fire: Private Airstrip For Bishop Oyedepo’s Canaanland Sparks Outrage

In a brief video, Oyedepo joyfully shared the news with his congregation during the Tehillah Night Special Edition, a thanksgiving event held at the Covenant University Chapel in Canaanland. This occasion also marked the celebration of Oyedepo’s 70th birthday, which he recently celebrated in September.

Addressing his congregation, Oyedepo expressed his enthusiasm for the government’s decision, highlighting that the new airstrip would greatly improve his travel arrangements. “I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that the Federal Government has approved an airstrip for Canaanland. I won’t need to fly a helicopter to the airport anymore; I can now travel directly from here,” he stated.

He also mentioned that the airstrip would provide a designated area for planes owned by church members, allowing them to land and park conveniently.

Tunde Moshood, the minister’s media aide, confirmed the news, stating, “Yes, the minister approved the airstrip. It is a private airstrip, and the minister granted the approval.”

The newly approved airstrip is anticipated to facilitate transportation for worshippers and visitors, especially during significant church events that attract large crowds from around the globe.
