Pastor Tunde Bakare

Activist and Pastor of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare have revealed to his congregation during the New Year church service that he would be running for the Presidency seat of the country. 

The pastor while speaking to his congregation in Lagos, Nigeria during the "12 revelations of the year 2018" told his church members that God in his recent encounter had said that he should not abandon his political career. Though he had told him to run for the presidency of the country, God did not reveal the appointed time to run for the position.

                      

Speaking about the revelation, Pastor Tunde Bakare said;

This twelfth one is a difficult one for me. It may draw excitement or condemnation. I have tried my best to keep it (to myself) but the Holy Spirit will not allow me to do so. In my study around 4 a.m. on Sunday morning, God told me ‘you cannot bring your political career to a close; there is still more to do. Run for the presidency. I will do it at the appointed time.

Joseph (in the Bible) did not contest an election; yet, he became the prime minister of Egypt. Why must I worry myself about where to get the resources for the task? Your own duty in this assignment is to pray along with me. When it is the appointed time, He (God) will do it. When He tells me the time, you will hear about it.

Pastor Tunde Bakare is an outspoken religious leader who run was the running mate of the current President Muhammadu Buhari in 2011 under the Congress for Progressive Change. He was also outspoken against the presidency of the former President Goodluck Jonathan and was one of the outspoken figures in the #OccupyNigeria, one of the country's largest protests against fuel subsidy and a weak economy.

Tunde Bakare is receiving criticism from Nigerians after he went silent and not active against the current Nigerian government many has seen as weak on the economy and other sectors. The Pastor has not said much like he did against past government or join any rally.

Other notable Nigerians include the prolific writer, Wole Soyinka.

Pastor Tunde Bakare, General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly during one of his sermons (undated) spoke against the barbaric act of the Abductor and also the negligence of the palace guard who had allowed a young lady be traumatised at the young age.

During his sermon, Tunde Bakare said that any religion that allow such act is not after God's heart and since it is a Sharia law in that part of the country to cut off the hands of whosoever steal, Yunusa manhood should be "cut off" since he had stolen the childhood of the young girl; fury Pastor Tunde Bakare gave sermon to the members of the church.

Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly took to the podium to address the congregation of what happened to him. The Pastor who had a fall while giving speech weeks ago was admitted to Reddington Hospital, Ikeja.

                

The pastor appreciates God, his wife, his church staff and everybody that stayed  with him during the moment. Pastor Tunde explains how people showed him love throughout his stay at the hospital, he later went on to say his recovery was God, and he supernaturally escaped death.

The pastor said other he had the premonition of what happened, but he had never known it was that close. He said he had once stopped himself from travelling to his son's graduation in the USA, though he later went to make the boy happy.

Pastor Tunde Bakare said a lot of people could not stop trying to know how he is doing. People like the former president, Goodluck Jonathan,  Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, the senate president of the country, General Buhari and his aide. To mention but a few.

He said the doctor had given him a clean bill of health and the cause of his falling down during presentation is because of stress, dehydration and exhaustion. He said the doctor had placed him on compulsory medication, and it will need him to drink 2 litres of water in a day only. Though the pastor said he is a fan of tea, but just need to drink more water now. He also advised the congregation to do same.

In his talk to the congregation, Pastor Tunde said even though he was a little tired, he still has the time to humour the doctors, he said when he was about to be placed inside the MRI scanning machine, he asked the doctors, are you APC or PDP, making all of them to laugh out loud.

Pastor Tunde is the Man of God and general overseer of Latter Rain Assembly. He is one of the outspoken pastor in Nigeria and will not petition the government of its wrong doings. He was chosen as the Vice-president to General Muhammadu Buhari under the CPC (Congress for Progressive Change) party in the 2011 elections, but lost to the Goodlcuk Jonathan/Namadi Sambo team
