Viral Video: Daddy Freeze Apologises to Bishop Oyedepo

Femi Ashekun/

Popular on-air-personality, Ifedayo Olarinde, aka Daddy Freeze, has apologised to the founder of Living Faith Church, aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo after attacking him in a viral video.

Daddy Freeze, who is the Convener of the Free the Sheeple Movement and Leader of the Free Nation in Christ, apologised to the influential cleric in an online video today.

He however noted that the video in which he insulted Oyedepo was recorded two years ago, but only went viral recently.

The broadcaster had drawn the ire of notable clerics, including the founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie and Senior Pastor, Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr. Paul Enenche, for insulting Oyedepo.

Daddy Freeze said, “My attention has been drawn to a video I released circa two years, seven months ago while addressing some pertinent issues that arose back then. I apologise for the delivery of my message and for any insult to Bishop David Oyedepo in that video as I didn’t in any way intend to dishonour, disrespect or disregard the person of the bishop.

“The perceived intention to the contrary is regretted. My methods of addressing doctrinal issues have long since devolved to a more scriptural and less confrontational approach. I was, and still, very passionate in my quest to address what I believe are unresolved doctrinal issues, however, from a more amiable perspective.”

He also noted that for the Christian Faith to thrive, believers must collectively be open to adopting theological frames of reference, adding that this could be achieved in love only.
