Bishop Abioye recently retired from Winners Chapel and did not attend Shiloh 2024,

Taking to social media on Sunday, December 15, Melaye, a former senator from Kogi state, said he did not attend the popular religious event "because Shiloh without Bishop Abioye is somehow."

The former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kogi state also commented about Bishop Abioye's retirement.

"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..," he said.

Why did Bishop Abioye retire from Winners Chapel?

Legit.ng gathers that Abioye's retirement follows a review of the church’s administrative policy, The Mandate. The retirement age for church leaders has been pegged at 55.

However, according to the new policy, Bishop Oyedepo, the church's founder, who is now 70, can now serve for life.

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).

Pastor speaks on Bishop Abioye's retirement

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Apostle Psalm Okpe, the pastor of Fresh Oil International Ministry located in New York, US, alleged that Bishop Abioye was retired from Winners Chapel to remain an elder mentor to the ministry.

In a Facebook post, the cleric described the "elder mentor role" as a much better management structural position.
