Abuja, FCT—Senator Dino Melaye has sparked controversy with his comments on the 2024 Shiloh event, stating he did not attend due to Bishop David Abioye's absence.

He posted on X:
"I did not attend Shiloh 2024. Because Shiloh without Bishop Abioye is somehow. I can't understand why Bishop Oyedepo, who is older, is not retired, and it is Bishop Abioye who is younger that should be forcefully retired. God did not retire Abioye,only Oyedepo did. Let's watch.."
Why did Bishop Abioye retire from Winners Chapel?
Legit.ng gathers that 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. However, Bishop Oyedepo, founder of the church, aged 70, can now serve for life, according to the new policy.
The Mandate stipulates that future church leaders will be restricted to one or two seven-year terms, pending approval by the Board of Trustees (BoT).
