Oyedepo 'vows to open gate of hell’ on Jonathan’s opponents

Jonathan paid a visit to Oyedepo’s church in Ota, Ogun State, today, January 25, and the preacher reportedly said ‘we will open the gate of hell on those who oppose you.’

Bishop David Oyedepo of Winner’s Chapel is said to have declared his unflinching support for President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid.

Oyedepo reportedly also said: ‘I pray that God will grant President Jonathan the unusual grace to meet the demand of his office.”

Jonathan on his part addressed the congregation saying:

“I don't want to talk much before I am accused of coming to Church to campaign for election. I plead with you all to keep praying for successful and peaceful election next month.”

“There are various predictions concerning the election, but I trust God to take control of the situation. I commend Bishop Oyedepo for his commitment to the work of God and education, without education we can't achieve much,” he added.

Oyedepo is a known ally of the President and has accompanied him on pilgrimage to Israel and for a top secret meeting with former President, Olusegun Obasanjo and the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye.
