The popular man of God retired from Winners in 2024 at the age of 63, but some people have queried the reasons behind his retirement.

In his opinion which he posted on Facebook, Awuzie Frankline said Bishop Abioye served the Winners Chapel faithfully.

Awuzie said:

"Bishop David Abioye has officially inaugurated his ministry after leaving Winners Chapel. In my opinion, you are exceptionally qualified to establish your own ministry, sir. The majority of churches in Nigeria originated from a main church."

Awuzie noted that many churches began as an offshoot of other ministries.

He said:

"Some churches began as a result of disobedience, rebelliousness, and ingratitude towards the church that nurtured them. However, today they are acting as if they never had their roots in another church and are criticizing members who followed in their footsteps."

He said there were more than 100 churches in his area, insisting that some of the founders were not called by God.

His words:

"In my area alone, there are over 100 small church buildings, as those small pastors refused to maintain an alliance with the main church. Even some pastors who God never flashed or called are claiming they are called by God. Nevertheless, Bishop David Abioye has overstayed and deserves to have his own church and control his own destiny. Congratulations sir."
