A shocking video has emerged of Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly openly admitting that he refused to sign a resignation letter that would have seen him hand over his vice presidential position had General Buhari been successful in his presidential campaign in 2011.
In an interview with Kadaria Ahmed aired in July 2013, the firebrand pastor cum politician was queried as to whether his refusal to step down contributed to the breakdown of the proposed merger between CPC and ACN prior to the 2011 elections.
“It was not stepping down that was the issue,” Bakare responded. “It was resigning on paper with my signature, to sign as Vice President of Nigeria. I said, ‘No, I can’t do that. I can resign as Tunde Bakare, a candidate, but I cannot resign as Vice President, an office I have not occupied.’ That is illegal.”
“Are you saying they were willing to allow your name to go forward in the polls and then they expected that once you’d won the election, you would resign as Vice President?” queried Ahmed in the pilot edition of her show ‘Straight Talk With Kadaria’ currently airing on Channels Television.
“That is what they were asking for,” Bakare admitted. “But I was not ready to commit perjury, to sign an office I have not occupied.”
Clearly perplexed, Kadaria questioned as to why Bakare still chose to support a party that intentionally instructed him to be involved in perjury, adding that his position as a pastor puts him on an even higher moral pedestal in the eyes of the public.
“My moral code is simple – I am the salt of the earth and the light of the world,” Bakare retorted. “Light does not run away from darkness and salt does not run away from corruption. What you do is contact without contamination.”
The user who uploaded a short snippet of the interview on YouTube today opined that a similar agreement had been forged with current Vice presidential candidate, Pastor Yemi Osinbajo of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) led by Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
“This is the same agreement their stooge, Pastor Yemi Osibanjo, has signed for Tinubu that will ensure APC's dream for a Muslim/Muslim Ticket if Buhari wins,” the video description controversially reads.

DeleteU really resemble okeowo! D fact that u are facially ugly does not mean your thoughts should also be ugly. Okeowo means poor man in my dialect.
ReplyDeleteThis Buhari candidacy is highly questionable. A vote for him is a vote for chaos in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteThey should. Not allow Buhari and Jonathan to enter... that's the only solution... I foresee doom during Buhari tenure
ReplyDeletePls do not read this story/view the picture until you are about to go to bed...:*

DeleteOh my god, so this all true!!! We are doomed with Buhari and I have been rooting for the devil all this while. What is wrong with these so allied pastors? How can a simple drug pusher like tinubu manipulate osibanjo? Please let this country divide.
ReplyDeletedos of u dat dosnt want change 4 dis country u just dey use anytn just to change d mind of people
ReplyDeleteIf Buhari does not perform in 4 years, we vote him out. Sorry Bakare. I will still vote for Buhari. Why are you just talking now?
ReplyDeleteMumu, u think it easy 2 just vote som1 out just like dat, if u don enter u go allow person come push u out
Deletethis interview was aired July 2013 way before the buhari was elected the flag bearer of APC
DeleteThis Bakare has started again and should be investigated. Maybe he s among those greedy pastors who collect N6bn bribe to campaign agianst Buhari...Ask governor Amaechi. However his cynical talks cant change the fact that Nigerians have accepted Buhari and will vote for him.
DeleteThis is a big lie from the pit.
ReplyDeleteU can't vote buari out as soon as the power returns to north puppet. U can only do it now that theirs still time before its too late.
ReplyDeleteBuhari can not last there for 4 years because Tinubu will not allow him he wants to wast him and become the president as Osinbajo had been made to sign to hand over the VP to him can't you get it. It is not Buhari it is Tinubu, as for Christians who are happy about Osinbajo as VP you can see that it was a plan to get the Christains deceived , get their votes and then it will turn to Muslem /Muslem ticket , these people never ment well for Nigeria it is their selfish interest., now Osinbajo has signed for Tinubu because he is his stooge. When Buhari asked Tinubu to nominate VP , Tinubu wrote 1) Ahmed Bola Tinubu ,2)Remi Tinubu,3Tinubu. Buhari said who are these, He started laughing and Buhari told him that Muslem /Muslem ticket cannot fly and so he now brought his stooge Osinbajo , For the northerners you should not be used again like Yaraduas time if we love Buhari let's save his life from these people, they never ment well for him and Nigeria they are driven by ambitions Tinubu will never allow anybody occupy that position according to him he has labored for APC CHANG what Chang there is no change anywhere it is just gimmick
ReplyDeleteethnicity will kill you , I am now an Hausa goat because I don't support that Clueless President of yours , if I may ask what have u gained from this Government nothing , come to SA if give bath to a child as an SA citizen Ur child will be getting R350(N7200) every month till the are 18years so if u have 3kids that's R350*3 , we know that can not happen in Naija but the only thing we are benefiting from our government which is fuel subsidy this Clueless Gej and his girlfriend Okonjo Iwuala took it away with a clumsy excuse and u want me to vote them again , Suffer head.
ReplyDeleteWhy not go to SA and get their nationality and leave Naija alone. Your dull brains will never let you understand that our problem did not start with GEJ,but the illiterate northerners that have held power for more than 70% of the period after independence. Your blindness is made obvious by the fact that you've not been able to see all that GEJ has achieved all this while.
DeleteAnyway in a few days time,we'll all have equal opportunity to exercise our powers thru our PVCs.
Please, this is not the time to trade words rather it is the time to seek the face of God concerning our choice if only you are a christian. If you do this, the men behind the mask will be unvailed. Nigeria is at a cross road. Be it a christian or an islam, pray for Nigeria at such a time as this.
DeleteWhy is Pst BUhari just saying this??
ReplyDeleteBUHARI WINNING THE ELECTION WILL LEAD TO THE DIVISION OF NIGERIA. GEJ WILL WIN BY FIRE BY FORCE IF NIGERIA WILL REMAIN ONE.
ReplyDeleteBuhari fools re not seen any truth about bakare sermon. jst vote buhari and u wil witness wat our parent saw.
ReplyDeleteread carefully the interview was air July 2013, some just made reference to it. check its authenticity
ReplyDeletereally!!! lets see how it works, this was said in 2013 why publish now...whatever Febuhari!!! I don't reall care about religion or enthincity.
ReplyDeleteyou are wisely supporting the literate that behaves like a retard
ReplyDeleteI don't care neither but I care about Muslem/Muslem ticket if they are honest they should come out if voted no problem but not to use Christians in disguise then after winning the election it will be handed over to Tinubu who wants to acquire the whole land in Nigeria as he did in Lekki and Igundo. Christians should be very wise we better unit to stop this evil move called Change , it is to our own detriment if we allow it by our not being united it.is either we pray and vote rightly or we carry gun to protest a word is enough for the wise, so be guided
ReplyDeleteOut of context! For one to correctly and objectively interpret any statement, it must be put in context. First, at that time, no merger but alliance between CPC and ACN and it was too late to drop Bakare's name to have an ACN candidate as vice president on board at the last minute when the alliance was being discussed, for the sake of fairness and justice. The ACN didn't want a situation whereby they would be shortchanged at the end of the day. Now what we have is a perfect merger, so every agreement has been reached before the merger was completed. Papers were signed too, so that no party would be shortchanged at the end of the day if the new party APC should work. Besides, the interview was done in 2013 when there was no merger, but this is 2015, and many issues have been resolved to make the subsequent merger work. If Tunde Bakare is not satisfied with the present arrangement or feel something is wrong with it that could tarnish his image, he won't support the Buhari/Osibanjo ticket. At best he would have kept aloof, but he supports it sincerely. Lastly, but still in relation to context, I need complete interview, because Bakare was still continuing the clarification on what he was saying, when the video stops abruptly, meaning it has been cut-edited by those circulating it to deceive those who don't have the acumen to analyse this kind of thing. For example, the proceedings of the meeting of Fayose, Koro, and co where the manipulation of Ekiti election was discussed are heard from the beginning to end in what Sahara Reporter has circulated online. In essence, what I am saying is that what Bakare was about saying and later said where this video has been abruptly cut-edited at the end is necessary for the correct interpretation. So let them release the full interview like that of Sahara reporter.
