APC attacks Bishop Oyedepo over ‘Gate of hell’ controversy

There are allegations that the prominent cleric threatened to open the gate of hell on those opposing the president yesterday, but there are indications that Bishop Oyedepo never said those opposing the president but those against Nigeria. Members of the church said the Bishop urged the church to pray for peace in Nigeria and a violence-free 2015 polls without any word of campaign for Jonathan.

However, the opposition party, All Progressives Congress, APC and its supporters have taken to the social media to criticise the Bishop. The APC took to its twitter page to say that “Go and Open the gates of Hell… We will enter there and use our PVCs to CHANGE the Padlock and Lock you inside – APC Supporter”. The party also re-tweet some of the comments of its followers, especially from some of its influencers which castigated the man of God.
