The Eastern Union (EU), a social-political organization has firmly reacted to the comment credited to Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly, describing him as not only a hypocrite, fake man of God but also inciteful.
The President of EU, Anike Charles said on Wednesday, that Mr. TUNDE Bakare’s attempt to incite the North against Igbos is hypocritical, and calculated mischief that has no place in the human heart.
He stated that Bakare lost his anointing and relationship with God since he went into politics adding that he is being forced to make such hate speech because of inordinate ambition and wrong relationship.
“The Eastern Union, therefore, requests that Tunde Bakare should immediately swallow his pride and forfeit whatever hidden agenda, retrace his footsteps, and tender unreserved public apology to the Igbos in particular and Nigerians at large; for trying to incite other Nigerians against the Igbos through his well-calculated heresy.
“It’s obvious and very clear from Bakare’s recent messages, it’s either that Mr. Bakare has lost the anointing or have completely lost touch with God, due to wrong association and inordinate ambition.” Anike disclosed.
Bakare had in his sermon on Sunday threw caution to the wind in his message “why lgbos cannot be President” by saying that Igbos were cursed by Tafawa Belewa, never to be President.
Anike, while reacting to the speech, further described Bakare’s message as a hate speech, adding that the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, should sanction Bakare over his message, entitled “why lgbos cannot be President”.
According to him, the pulpit is supposed and should be a place of healing; a place of Unity and harmony but Bakare has made it a place to preach hatred against a tribe.
“It’s also not a place to incite some people against another. And those who do otherwise are committing heinous crimes and dreadful transgressions.
“It is a well-known fact that the preachers of the Gospel in the Bible were instruments in the hand of God for the restoration of people and destinies of Nations.
He said most preachers in the image of Bakare have deviated to embrace the theology which neither contained in the bible nor have any resemblance of Christianity.
“The case of Tunde Bakare, a self-acclaimed man of God, who obviously have lost his voice, neither as a man of God or politician, is one too many.
“The critical question that is begging for an answer, is whether Tunde Bakare can comfortably say what he preached recently, in a well-circulated video, was revealed to him by God, or it was mere fiction in his mind which can never be proven,” Anike stated.
He said the line of theology that Bakare toed cannot be found in the archives of Nigerian history adding that Mr. Bakare needs to tell Nigerians how and where he got his facts.
“To me this act of blasphemy against the Igbos is unacceptable and must be redressed, especially at this critical time in our Nation’s history, where the unity of our Country has been challenged and threatened more than any time else”.
Anike explained that despite the claims of his acclaimed preacher and a lawyer, Bakare’s massages are conjectures of hearsays and rumours.
” To me, the National Broadcasting Commission should have categorised the Bakare massage, entitled “why lgbos cannot be President'” as a hate speech.” He quipped.
“The Eastern Union, therefore, requests that Tunde Bakare should immediately swallow his pride and forfeit whatever hidden agenda, retrace his footsteps, and tender unreserved public apology to the Igbos in particular and Nigerians at large; for trying to incite other Nigerians against the Igbos through his well-calculated heresy.
“It’s obvious and very clear from Bakare’s recent messages, it’s either that Mr. Bakare has lost the anointing or have completely lost touch with God, due to wrong association and inordinate ambition.”
