Critic, Femi Fani-Kayode has attacked Pastor Tunde Bakare
over his romance with the National leader of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He said Bakare has desecrated the pulpit by praising Tinubu
to the highest heaven, saying “shame on him.”
Bakare had attacked rancorous Yoruba elders who are bent on
destroying Tinubu ahead of the 2023 presidency, saying they were envious of his
achievement.
The fiery preacher said “I have a word for those Yoruba rancorous elements, noisemakers who have not achieved as much as Asiwaju Tinubu has achieved, but are always querying and worrying themselves about his ancestry.
“Those who are envious of Mr. Tinubu and those who desire to
take his power slot should stop their useless talk about him, and busy
themselves with what can add value to society”.
Reacting, Fani-Kayode wondered how Bakare who once said
Tinubu would give account for all his deeds, would suddenly turn around to
praise the same man he once denigrated.
According to him, “I listened to Bakare’s words, spoken from
the sanctity of his pulpit, three times and I was astounded. I asked myself
what could have possibly made him flip in such an unceremonious, undignified
and inglorious manner?
“I regarded his new-found and newly-cultivated grovelling
and sycophantic assertions about Tinubu as being not only self-serving,
arrogant, pitiful and condescending but also a desecration of the pulpit”.
“I asked myself over and over again whether this was the
same man saying one thing at the end of 2019 and saying the opposite at the end
of 2020?”
Fani-Kayode said it was Tinubu who forced Buhari on the
nation and the people of the Southwest in 2015, saying he should share in the
blame of the downturn of the Buhari administration.
He said for Bakare to support Tinubu, it meant a lot and
warned him not to drag the Yoruba people into his new found love.
“However on this Tinubu matter he has not done justice to
himself and he has indulged in an inexcusable faux pas!
I am constrained to ask, why this sudden u-turn on Jagaban?
Is there something he knows today that he did not know one year ago? If so can
he possibly share it with us so that we can possibly consider doing a volte
face too? Or is that they have something on him?” He asked.
“The ‘sakabular’ pastor
is encouraging the young ones to loot, steal, engage in fraudulent acts, sell
drugs, do passport racketeering in their youth as these will not count against
them in the future. Rubbish from the pulpit. Shame on him,” he added.
