Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani has tackled the General Overseer of Winners Chapel International, David Oyedepo, for his comments on the continuous closure of churches amidst Coronavirus pandemic.
Mr Oyedepo on Wednesday said it is wrong for people to be allowed to be in the market for six hours and will not be allowed in church for two hours, adding that it is an upside-down way of looking at things.
“Which one is more orderly? The market or the church? the pastor asked as he claimed to be suspecting ulterior motives.
“The voice of darkness is influencing people at various levels, targeting the church because the growth and expansion of the church is the greatest headache of the devil. But the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. The devil and all his agents shall surely pay for this,” he said.
In reaction to this, Mr Sani took to Twitter to disagree with the popular Evangelist. He said that the opening of religious gatherings will cause more harm.
“When you open the Market & close the Mosque/Church,you feed the body & starve the soul.When you open the church/Mosque & close the market, you feed the Soul & starve the body.When you open the market & the Mosque/church without control,you feed the virus with the body & the soul.”
