I Have No Problems With Tinubu + He Single Handedly Defeated PDP - Tunde Bakare
Oh dear, Pastor Tunde Bakare has denied having any issues
with APC Chieftain, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and says, those who say he usually
attacks Tinubu do not know what they are saying, because he praises him
instead. According to the G.O, Tinubu is a good politician who he respects and
he is someone who single handedly defeated PDP. And guess what? We believe him
because men of God do not lie. Here’s what he told The News… As usual he
answered the question brilliantly!
Q: When we look at the campaign of PMB, we saw Asiwaju
Tinubu as his backbone, he played a leading role in the emergence of Buhari as
President. Recently in the church, I heard I wasn’t there, that you attacked
Jonathan and Tinubu and when I look at your comment on Tinubu, I see that you
always attack him, I want to ask, why?
A: Well, you told me you were not there, hearsay evidence
are not feasible in court. Since you were not there, I would have asked you to
go listen to the tape and come back because sometimes what looks like an attack
is truth. Why would I attack Asiwaju? Talking of politics, he has paid his
dues. People were not there when I preached the message and that really
celebrated Tinubu. That he single handedly fought the PDP to a standstill in
the southwest. I sent him the tape. Do you understand me? Again this is our
society, the moment you focus on issues, they reduce it to personalities. May I
ask you the question maybe that would throw light on areas that you call
criticisms by those who do not know the difference between critique and a
negative comment. Shall I pray for you that your children will not be greater
than you? Will you say amen to that. So if God has used you to facilitate the
emergence of someone who now performs better than you, shouldn’t you be happy.
My mother is a happy woman, she didn’t go to school but she
sent me. And today she is at peace with herself that she has worked hard and
worked well and I give her the honour. You may never meet my mother but you
have met the letter she has written to the world. It not a letter written with
ink and pen. Do you understand me. I don’t have any problem with Asiwaju. On
3rd of November 2014 I was in Asiwaju’s house and I said to him ‘Asiwaju, there
are only four things left that I am pursuing in this world, and none of them is
in your hands, my mother is 106, her prayer is that I should survive her and
give her a befitting burial. Asiwaju, can you guarantee my being alive to do
that?’ he said he can’t. No 2: ‘Asiwaju, I want to stay in health while waiting
to give my mother a befitting burial, can any human being guarantee that?’ Nobody.
I have five children by the grace of God, I want them to be greater than I am,
and I don’t want them to go before me, ‘can you guarantee that?’
And finally I said I want to make heaven at the end, and to
hear, ‘good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord your God’ can
you guarantee that? he can’t. So why the basis of competition, what I am
looking for is not in your hand. Am not looking for power, I am not looking for
position, I am not looking for appointment. Can’t you understand that? I have
never done contract in my life. So there is no basis for attacking Asiwaju
except in the figment of the imagination of some people. But something touched
me, and when matters are brought to me, I look at some of them, I take them
all, sometimes I don’t bother myself because you must not fight every battle
and lose the world.
