Popular and sharp-witted Pentecostal preacher, Tunde Bakare has come in for sharp questioning after he knocked critics of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Bakare, the senior Pastor and founder of Citadel Global Community Church, formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly, had in a video that has since gone viral said that Tinubu deserves more than the respect that he has been given.
While many did not find fault with his stance or his acquittal of a man given his pastoral calling, many were, however, taken aback by his political partisanship on the pulpit with many saying that he had converted his podium from a church pulpit to political podium.
There were also claims that the preacher was spreading confusion after proclaiming himself as a possible aspirant for the presidency in 2023 to again be seen clearing the way for one of the most dominant aspirants, Tinubu.
Nigerians have taken to Twitter to share their views on the inclinations of the former Deeper Life, RCCG pastor.
"Stop all this nonsense about ancestry. You will kill your heroes and those who can deliver you and nothing will happen" – #TundeBakarepic.twitter.com/KKy3hd5GS7
#TundeBakare stated that no other person has achieved for the South-West what Tinubu had, especially what he did between 1999 and 2007 pic.twitter.com/QGhKsEu88B
He said the true, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, I was never a fan of Tinubu either but come to think of it, presently no other Yoruba politicians can stand his pedigree, so why the hate.
For reference purpose, know that all your hate and bitterness against ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU JAGABAN starts and ends here on twitter. December 5th bye Election across Nigeria should open una head and think. The game is the game as usual.
I wish Tinubu's oppositions to be constructive. I'm not saying Tinubu should not have opposition. Opposition is a feature in democracy. It should be exercised well https://t.co/6EzNa3a74C
The political Tunde Bakare is confused. The other time he was saying he has been appointed to succeed Buhari in 2023, and now he is campaigning for Tinubu on the altar. Lol
Well I don’t want to insult @T_Bakare because its like his church is now a campaign group he is nolonger preaching the word kf God its now tinubu this tinubu that that is why I don’t listen to men like this i just pray in my house finish https://t.co/6M7V9SnQ0P
*video* "When you were SLEEPING, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was WORKING day & night! He secured Lagos, secure Ogun, secured Oyo, secured Osun, secured Ekiti, secured Ondo, secured Edo, & you say he's a nobody? ODE! (moron)" – Pastor Tunde Bakare. https://t.co/PGAZVWl1lH
I pity those still attending Tunde Bakare's church. I wonder how a supposed "Man of God" will be campaigning for a well known corrupt man like Tinubu on the altar.
No respect for the things of God. You see this Christianity, na only God know who they serve am. I'm not shocked.
