General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church (formerly Latter Rain Assembly), Pastor Tunde Bakare has been lambasted by the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Femi Fani-Kayode, Director, Special Media Projects/New Media at the PCC said:

“Bakare got zero votes at the convention.”

Special Adviser, Media, Communications and Public Affairs at the PCC, Dele Alake said:

“Tunde Bakare is a political neophyte. This is a man who did a video in his church asking his members to vote for Tinubu, then the next day, he does the opposite. For us, that is not a serious issue.”

“With due respect to him, he is a political paperweight, a political neophyte.”

For those who don’t know, Pastor Bakare in his state-of-the-nation address on Sunday advised Nigerians to shun those promoting ‘emilokan’, a term associated with Tinubu and which means “my turn” in Yoruba.

He added that no good politician seeking the votes of the people would evade public debates and also task his team members with the task of answering questions specifically directed at him.
