Obasanjo replies Bishop Oyedepo over "Gate of Hell" comment

Since the alleged statement credited to Bishop David Oyedepo that he would open the gates of hell for those against President Goodluck Jonathan or his government hit the net, there has been many reactions.

But one is standing out, and it is allegedly coming from Baba himself, ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo. He was said to have replied Bishop Oyedepo and cautioned him against such partisan prayers.

Obasanjo through his twitter handle on Monday said that no pastor could tell Nigerians who to vote:

“We all want #CHANGE. Vote based on what you know not on reli­gious or tribal sentiments! No one has the key to hell! Don’t be threatened!"

“Has Bishop Oyede­po spoken out to condemn the legalised looting of Billions of Dollars taking place under the watch of President Jonathan?"

“Did Bishop Oyedepo condemn the failure of the President to rescue the Chibok girls 9 months after they were kidnapped by the insurgents?

“Did Bishop Oyedepo speak out to condemn the manner in which the almost 300 Chibok girls were kid­napped?

“Did Oyedepo speak out when ASUU & ASUP were on strike twice in 4 years thereby leading to the loss of almost 2 years in the aca­demic calendar?”

Obasanjo was not done. He tweeted: “How many of the Pastors that are telling you to vote for GEJ have children who are unem­ployed graduates sitting at home?

“A man of God that does not have the key to free our beloved Chibok girls from captivity, [said he] has the key to hell... GOD HELP US!"
