Bakare Mocks Tinubu Over Identity Crisis

Pastor Tunde Bakare has mocked APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu over the identity and credential issues that have clouded his person.

The Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church reacted after supporters of Tinubu tackled him over his zero vote showing at the National convention.

Bakare reacting to the critics said:

“Can someone tell these people that scoring zero in a primary election with one’s true identity and integrity intact as well having original credentials from well-known schools:

“Primary, Secondary, colleges and University within and outside of this nation is a veritable badge of honor, absolutely legit and unquestionable? Please tell them that in the words of Michel De Montaigne.”

It would be recalled that Bakare had in his state of the nation address on Sunday affirmed that no good politician seeking the votes of the people would evade public debates and also task his team members with the task of answering questions specifically directed at him.

APC operatives had on Monday responded mocking Bakare over the innuendo cast on Tinubu on the identity issues alleging that he lacked the electoral compass to question the candidate having scored zero vote at the convention.

“Bakare got zero votes at the convention”, said Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, Director, Special Media Projects/New Media at the PCC.

Responding to the Tinubu handlers, Bakare said, “Why are they then giving any thought to what I said? May be their alleged “paper weight” is too heavy for them to carry.

“There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.” One of the Special Advisers that I thought had some semblance of nobility had to utter outright lies and falsehoods to satisfy his paymaster. He said that I did a video asking members of our church to vote for their candidate and then turn around to ask them not to vote for him.

“Unfortunately, there is no such video containing such falsehood. The abridged video these people are sending around is from a message preached here (Citadel Global Community Church) in 2020 with the title: “An idle man’s brain is the devil’s workshop.” I made it clear in the video that I did not endorse their candidate’s lifestyle, business or type of politics.

“In the said video, I never asked our members to vote or not vote for their candidate or any other candidate. By the way, our members are not zombies. They, by the grace of God, have their own minds and will decide who to vote for on Election Day. As for those whose stock in trade is lying against others and fabricating stories that are not true about them, our strong consolation is that their DNA and the final destination are spelt out in the Bible. See Psalm 58:3-8. “The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies…”

“Rest assured, I will take the vicious attacks of these political merchants in my stride, because I know that according to Voltaire: “Many are destined to reason wrongly, others not to reason at all and some to persecute those who do reason,” Bakare said in response to the Tinubu team over the issues involving the candidate’s identity.
