Tunde Bakare is not speaking as a pastor. He is speaking as a bitter rival who is covetous of President Tinubu’s position- Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri has lashed out at clergyman, Pastor Tunde Bakare, who recently condemned President Tinubu’s style of leadership. 

While speaking to his congregants on Sunday, April 20, Bakare lamblasted the President for the manner he has piloted the affairs of the country since assuming office in May 2023.

 Bakare said President Tinubu practices ‘’motorpark brand of politics”. He further stated that the President has turned the National Assembly into an Assembly that does only his bidding. Read here.

Reacting to Bakare’s comment via his Instagram page this evening, Reno opined that the cleric spoke against the President because he is still bitter that he lost the APC Presidential ticket to Tinubu in 2022. 

He wrote;

‘’Tunde Bakare wanted to be President. He contested against President Bola Tinubu for the APC primary on Wednesday, June 8, 2022, and was soundly defeated. Tunde Bakare scored ZERO votes at the primary. Please fact-check me. He is not speaking as a pastor or prophet. He is speaking as a defeated and bitter rival who is covetous of the President’s position.

 

You cannot expect a rival you defeated to be fair, just and balanced concerning you. It is not possible.

 

It is like expecting Kanye West to speak positively about Taylor Swift after losing the Grammy Award for Album of the Year to her.

 

This is a man who informed us that heaven has ordained him to be the sixteenth President of Nigeria after Buhari. Today, the reality is that the sixteenth President of Nigeria is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Do you then expect him to be happy with Bola Tinubu for occupying a position promised to him by heaven?

 

If Tunde Bakare can lie against heaven (not the first time. He also claimed in 2006 that the Holy Spirit told him Buhari was part of Nigeria’s decaying past, before running with the same Buhari in 2011), who are you that he cannot lie to?”
