Some members of the Winners Chapel, Ota, Ogun State, southwest Nigeria, refused to stand and pray for President Goodluck when Pastor David Oyedepo asked the congregation to pray that GEJ wins the elections.
According to some worshipers who attended the service those who were not happy with Jonathan’s performance remained seated, when the pastor who has been quoted to have said he will open the “gate of hell on anyone who doesn’t vote for Jonathan at the forthcoming election.
While some of the church members were excited to see Jonathan, others grumbled, saying he had suddenly turned to the Winners Chapel after he discovered that he is no longer welcomed at the Redeemed Christian Church of God since a senior pastor of the church, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, is now the running mate to Buhari who is contesting against Jonathan in the election.
Some also whispered that the pastors in the country were not helping matters as they are not acting like prophets and leaders in the Bible who spoke truth to people in power.
