Bakare speaks on Osinbajo, clears the air on presidential ambition

Lagos based preacher, and senior pastor of the Latter Rain assembly, Tunde Bakare has cleared the air over the widely spread notion deduced from an old message he preached about his ambition of becoming Nigeria’s next president.

Pastor Bakare speaking at his church in the Ogba Area of Lagos on Monday said the online video was an old message he preached which is now being used to drive an agenda about the current situation surrounding Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

The preacher explained that God recently showed him a vision about Nigeria of a rainbow indicating a reset across the land.

Speaking about the recent travails of the Vice President, Pastor Bakare said that Prof Osinbajo will have the last laugh over his present predicaments in the presidency.

Recall that the Vice President recently denied claims made by a former APC official, Timi Frank that the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) provided N90 billion as campaign funds for Mr Osinbajo during the 2019 elections.

Pastor Bakare backed the Vice President, saying he found the allegation difficult to believe.

Tunde Bakare, 64, has always spoken about his desire to lead Nigeria someday.

Bakare was Buhari’s running mate in the 2011 presidential election on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). Buhari polled second, garnering 12, 214,853 votes behind eventual winner and then incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan who polled 22,495,187.

Soon afterwards, the duo of Bakare and Buhari fell apart, with the clergyman recently dismissing President Buhari’s anti-corruption war as a selective endeavour and faulting his handling of the economy as shabby.
