Tunde Bakare, serving overseer of
the Latter Rain Assembly church, says he and Omoyele Sowore, a presidential
aspirant, will lead Nigeria.
Bakare said this when Sowore paid
a visit to his church.
Introducing him to the
congregation, Bakare described the Sahara Reporters publisher as an
“uncompromising non-conformist rebel with a cause”.
He said though they both have
their eyes on the seat of the president, they would, in turns, lead the
country.
“The problem that I have is that
Sowore wants to be president and I want to be president. One of us will have to
knock each other,” Bakare said while laughing.
“Well, everybody say, ‘turn by
turn’. I will fulfill my own turn and he will do his own turn.
“It is not his first time here by
the way. Many people don’t know this guy had fought lions and bears and battles
just to ensure there is good governance in our country and I am so happy that
people like him are thinking of contributing their meaningful quota while it is
yet day.
“If people will not gather
together to shake the system, the system will remain unshaken. But now they are
afraid because we are coming from the east, from the west, from the north, from
the south, from outside invading this country to say enough is enough.”
During a service in his church on
April 8, Bakare had said a tender plant from the north will replace President
Muhammadu Buhari, whom he has repeatedly criticised.
“The reason things are going
haywire in Nigeria today is because God is preparing a tender plant from the
side of the north,” he had said.
“Once this president is out,
another tender plant is entering. It will be clear to us that God preserved us
for 30 years, preparing us for what he has prepared for us.”
Bakare was Buhari’s running mate
in the 2011 presidential election. They ran on the platform of Congress for
Progressive Change (CPC).
