Pastor Tunde Bakare, General Overseer of Citadel Global Community Church, formerly Latter Rain Assembly has dropped a bombshell.

He said; “I have a word for some Yoruba people whose stock in trade is nothing but a rancorous noise characterised by bitterness and resentment about the ancestry of the former two-term governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”

“Carry your stone. I have a word for those Yoruba rancorous elements, noisemakers who have not achieved much as Asiwaju Tinubu has achieved, but are always querying and worrying themselves about his ancestry.”

“His traducers are quick to tell you, he’s from Iragbiji; that is where Jephthah came from, that is where he came from. As if that will resolve the issues we have today. Hear me loud and clear, knowing the name of Asiwaju’s mother or father or his place of birth cannot put food on the table of the hungry or create jobs for the unemployed.”

“Despite his growing up challenges, the dents and the detours of his life, he like Jephthah delivered Lagos state and nearly all the southwest states from the onslaught of the PDP from 1999 to 2007.”

“Truth be told, without his cooperation and political dexterity, the APC victory at the polls in 2015 and 2019 would have been impossible.”

“I am not Tinubu’s brand manager, but all I know is that “just as every saint has a past, every sinner has a future, and the best of men are still men at the very best.”

“Those who are envious of him and those who desire to take his power slot should stop their useless talk about him, and busy themselves with what can add value to society.”

“Like Jephthah the Gileadite, he has fought many battles on behalf of the Yoruba people and won despite his rough beginning and God does not need anybody’s permission to put such in his hall of fame despite their past deeds and ancestry”.

“I reason straight from the scripture, strange bedfellows coming together for a Yoruba front have a hidden agenda. When Pilate and Herod agreed, it was because he wanted to kill Jesus.”

“I am not a friend to anyone, but he is like the rain who falls on the just and the wicked. I will defend the rights of his enemies even when they have the right.”
