Adeboye, Oyedepo, Kumuyi deny claims of oil well allocation

Three prominent Pentecostal pastors of most wealthiest Churches in Africa, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Church, aka Winners Chapel and Rev. Kumuyi of the Deeper Life Internation Bible Church have denied claims that the former President Olusegun Obasanjo offered oil wells to them.

The trio challenged the person behind the claim to provide credible evidence linking them to oil wells allocation.

Their response followed claim by Reverend Mosy Madugba, founder of the Ministers’ Prayer Network, who in his sermon on Sunday 8th October, 2026 claimed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo allocated oil wells to them.

Madugba specifically mentioned overseers of RCCG, Winners Chapel and Deeper Christian Life as beneficiaries which has gone viral on social media.

The allegation triggered conversations on social media thereby putting the affected Churches under pressure to react.

Reacting, Winners Chapel through the Director of Media, Patrick Nkamiang, expressed doubt of how Obasanjo could have given out resources that did not personally belong to him.

He rejected the claim, arguing that oil wells are national resources regulated by the Federal Government and cannot simply be distributed by a president as personal gifts.

“Oil wells do not even belong to Obasanjo, for him to be sharing? They are natural resources that are governed by the Federal Republic of Nigeria. You cannot just give them away as you like,” Nkamiang said.

He said Oyedepo was not known to receiving donations that were not legitimate over the years.

On the similar vein, a senior media aide at Deeper Christian Life Ministry described the allegation against Kumuyi as ridiculous. He said Daddy Kumuyi had never been interested in oil exploration activities or something closer to material wealth.

Kumuyi had always been focused on his Ministry and concerned about salvation only.

In another separate reaction, an official in RCCG’s media unit urged Madugba to prove with evidence before the Church will officially react.
