The group advised Oyedepo to focus on suggesting solutions to how the challenges confronting Nigeria could be subdued.

 

 


“Casting huge aspersions on being a woman, its definition and expectations therein when he advised women against joining the feminist movement because it leads to frstration and dvastation; contrary to the claims spread by people, feminism is about demanding gender equity, justice and access to equal resources for everyone, which will benefit families, communities and the wider society as a whole.

 

“The cleric’s comments justified the notion that women do not lead branches of the church popularly called Winners chapel, this c*ndemnable as women form a followership of the congregation.

 

“We need to ask the eminent cleric, did feminists and the coalition’s cause the unprductivity of his pastors, or the inscurity and high inflation that have enveloped the nation?,” the statement reads in part.
