Tunde Bakare Blasts Nigerian Pastors, CAN & PFN For Rejecting Osinbajo & Endorsing Jonathan On WhatsApp
Feb 2nd, 2015 – Tunde Bakare Blasts Nigerian Pastors, CAN & PFN For Rejecting Osinbajo & Endorsing Jonathan On WhatsApp
The Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly and Convener of the Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare has lashed out at CAN and PFN for endorsing President Goodluck Jonathan for the 14 February presidential election at the expense of one of their own, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, the running mate to the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.
Osinbajo
Bakare, who had repeatedly called for the postponement of the elections, said during his sermon at the weekend that he learnt Christian leaders held a secret meeting where they endorsed Jonathan, saying that the reason Christian leaders said they won’t support him (Bakare) in 2011 when he was running mate to Buhari was because they claimed he was too controversial and had never contested any election before.
He asked: “Why have they refused to support Osinbajo who is not a radical in 2015?”
Bakare lamented that the development could lead to a sharp division within the church, insisting that because 2014 was not fixed, a dangerous storm would brew after the general elections since all the stakeholders have refused to heed his warning that the polls should be postponed.
In his sermon titled “The Sweet And Sour Ministry Of The Prophet”, Bakare said “a prophet is sent to bring change not build consensus,” adding that “ whenever you compromise what is right in order to gain acceptance with men, you lose acceptance with God.”
He said some of the compromising Christian leaders he often described as palace prophets, were only after their pockets, which was why they have queued behind Jonathan and rejected their ‘son’.
The biblical quotation, “He came unto his own, and his own received him not,” played out itself a few days ago when the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, rejected Pastor Osinbajo who came to them for support for his political ambition. They told him that they were for President Jonathan.
Leaders of CAN and PFN had met at the Redemption Camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, to pray for the nation and the forthcoming election, but the meeting turned out to be for a secret endorsement of Jonathan’s candidacy.
In attendance at the meeting, P.M.NEWS gathered, were Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer, RCCG; Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners Chapel; Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, CAN President; Rev. Felix Omobude, PFN President; Pastor Paul Adefarasin, PFN Vice President; Pastor Wale Adefarasin of the Guiding Light Assembly and other key Christian leaders in the nation.
Pastor Osinbajo was also at the meeting to seek their blessing to support him and the candidacy of General Muhammed Buhari.
Pastor Paul Adefarasin was said to have broken the silence when he asked Adeboye who they should support since his ‘son’, Pastor Osinbajo is vying for the vice presidency with Buhari. They wanted Aeboye to say something and Osinbajo was watching as he believed that ‘Baba’ will certainly ask other leaders to endorse him, but he was disappointed.
Adeboye was said to have told them that he is a man under authority and that since he is under the authority of CAN and PFN, whoever they endorsed, he would support and go with them.
It was then that Oyedepo stood up and said he had prayed and that God was leading him to endorse and support Jonathan and that was the script the Christian leaders adopted at the expense of Osinbajo.
Instead of the meeting being for prayer for the nation, it was gathered that it turned out to be for the secret endorsement of Jonathan as all the leaders present except Osinbanjo agreed that CAN and PFN should go with Jonathan.
Osinbajo was not allowed to address the Christian leaders, giving the excuse that since the other contesting party was not present, they would not allow him to address the audience.
He was said to be downcast as his own rejected his aspiration.
CAN has been campaigning for Jonathan through messages being sent on Wasap to discredit the candidacy of Buhari in order to sway people to support Jonathan.
In one of the messages sent by CAN, it said that “during Babangida’s regime, he sold Nigeria to (Organisation of Islamic Countries) OIC” in order to Islamise Nigeria with an agreement that OIC will be supporting Nigeria financially and materially to accomplish their mission. And every year, Nigeria will be paying interest to OIC. So from IBB’s regime, Nigeria has been paying, until 1999 when Obasanjo who is a Christian came and stopped it for eight years.
“Then, in 2007 Yar’Adua came in and paid the outstanding debt of Obasanjo to OIC, with an interest and apology, he also paid his own from 2007 – 2010 and died. Goodluck Jonathan came in and stopped it for six years now and OIC constitution said that any member nation that stopped this payment for 10 years will be automatically excommunicated. Now GEJ has ruled Nigeria from 6th May, 2010 – 2015. He is seeking for 2nd tenure that will make it 10 years so that Nigeria will be delivered from the blood sucking Islamic religion,” CAN said in the text message, believed to be sponsored by Pastor Oritsejafor.
CAN further said that was why APC Presidential candidate, Buhari has been fighting to rule Nigeria since Obasanjo’s administration to date.
“Remember Nigeria’s 100 years centenary was in 2014. And any religion that starts to rule from this 2015 will take dominion till the next 100 years. Note: I am not campaigning for GEJ, but I am just revealing a secret to my fellow Christians to vote for religion. Forget Boko Haram. OIC masterminded it to distract us, it will soon be over.
“Nigeria did not have the monopoly of terrorism, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt, Pakistan, Kuwait, Somalia, etc have. This entire nation has been fighting terrorism since in the 80s yet… Don’t personalize this secret please! Make sure you send it to all your friends and everybody around. May God bless you, as you will vote for a Christian President in Nigeria election – 2015. Remember, God will judge you for using your thumb to dig the grave of his Church –CAN,” the Wasap message said.

Most of them apart from the Oyedapo have received money from politicians. It is a pity that men of God these days have become men of money
May be by the time boko haram catches up to the south west Nigeria will know that it is wrong to put an incompetent hand in Govt.

Hmmmm, so GEJ is more dedicated to Christ that Oshibanjo….Very soon the very respected and untouchable man of God will be judged on this earth if he isn’t what all Nigerian Christians believe he is. I find it amazing why Nigerians honour these so-called Prophets more that the creator of heaven and earth HIMSELF

If God Almighty was human being, our world would have been consumed with his anger and wrath many years ago. This is part of the craziness of Nigerian people who believe in human being but refused to serve the creator of the heavens and the earth. I’m not surprise although that CAN under the leadership of pastor Ayo Orisajafor and other Christian leaders who have benefited greatly from the looting, money laundering operations with their private jets, mismanagement, mistreatment of poor Nigerians, and corruption of president Jonathan. Why? The number of pastors flying private jets in Nigeria has increased drastically in six years than any nation on planet earth, he often travel with majority of these billionaire pastors at the expense of Nigerian taxpayers, they even took Jonathan’s campaign sometime shamelessly to Holy Land of Israel disguising as a religious tour. All these are happening while more Nigerian people have been driven into abject poverty by president Badluck Jonathan economic injustice, high rate of unemployment among our youths, unimaginable level of corruption, mismanagement at all levels of government, mass murder of innocent children, mothers and fathers, thousands of Nigerian citizens been kidnapped for ransome, poor infrastructure, shattered educational system, and leadership failure at the Aso Rock Villa. These private jets and billionaire pastors does not feel the daily pains ,struggles, and frustrations of average Nigerian citizens to put food on the table for their families, send their children to poor schools because they can’t avoid private school fees, pay 75% increase in the prices of petrol and kerosene due to Jonathan’s fuel subsidy scam, pay high rents, pay huge amount of money for poor medical treatment at our collapsed and unsupervised hospitals across the country, and pay high transportation costs. The prices of food products have sky rocketed in our various markets, and our electricity and water supply is nothing to talk about. These rich and influential Nigerian pastors send their own children abroad to school, they and their politicians friends go to the U.S and Europe for the best and quality medical treatments, they enjoy police and military escorts while thousands of innocent Nigerians are being kidnapped daily and bombed by Boko Haram terrorists, they used powerful generators for their own comfort while millions of suffering and poor Nigerians live in total darkness days after days,and they fly private jets while most suffering Nigerian people trek miles from their various homes to work and so on. They have turned the ultimate price of redemption of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of calvary for their own personal gains, influence, and comfort.They have forsaken the poor,powerless, orphans, widows, and our youths for cheap fame and monetary gains from our criminal and unpatriotic politicians. While our Lord fed the poor, provided for the orphans and the widows, and washed the feets of his disciples, these so called Men of God are served daily by suffering people for them and their f families ultimate satisfaction and total comfort. I don’t blame them but blame majority of Nigerian innocent and ignorant Christians that will rather serve and worship pastors rather than worshiping the Maker of the Heaven and earth. Every human being will ultimately be judged by God Almighty on the last day. As for suffering Nigerian masses, please cast your vote for a candidate that best represent your interests and that of many generations of unborn children. The Bible says, ” My people perish for lack of knowledge. ” Nigerian people must shun religious intolerance and tribalism in the upcoming presidential election this month and vote for a change that will rescue our sinking and declining nation from six years of president Jonathan’s setbacks, hardship, mass killings of innocent Nigerians. He used the same group of pastors to deceive us four years ago, we must refused to be used by them once again. They are billionaire pastors that are too rich to see the suffering of ordinary Nigerians. May God Almighty deliver us from powerful people who want to keep us in Jonathan’s bandage, setbacks and hardship for another four more years after six years of bloody presidency. May God have mercy on us in this nation. Amen.

One thing is sure, only the will of God will prevail,christian or muslim,but one question i want to ask our church leaders on this issue is, are they really happy with the way things are going in the country today?. I know they are doing fine,but i dont think the masses are.In my own opinion, if our church leaders cannot be bold enough to denounce these looting, corruption and insecurity in our country as we have today,why not stay clear?.Christian or Muslim i dont think Nigerians really care,all we want is someone who can really confront this barbaric looting and corruption as well as insecurity in the nation, period.Another point i will like to make is, if there is any payment this country”s past muslim presidents has made to oic or what ever, that they knew about, pls. they should not keep it secret. Nigerians will like to know the amount.

Jonathan has hired someone to use many fake names and make comments to incite Christians against Muslims so that they can vote for jonathan. That has already FAILED because Nigerian Christians and Muslims are awake and can see that Jonathan and these fake pastors as the real evil. religious sentiment or bigotry will never confuse us about the future of ourselves and our children. We shall vote Buhari into power and end this madness that lasted 6 years. Enough is enough.
