The senior pastor of Citadel Global Community Church, Lagos, Tunde Bakare has recanted his words that he would no longer pay visit to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Bakare who was Buhari’s running mate in the 2011 presidential general election had in a sermon in his church said it was time for war against Muhammadu Buhari’s regime, saying he would no longer pay visits to the president who he once supported.
Bakare, in his church service in July 2021, had revealed that he visited the president to advise him on national issues, but the president often failed to heed his advice.
However, Bakare visited Buhari in the Presidential Villa, Abuja Friday, October 15.
Buhari was spotted wearing white agbada covering facemask with cap while Bakare was spotted wearing high flowing agbada covering facemask with black cap to match.
Both were seen exchanging elbow banters before they sat down on an oval table decked with Nigerian flag for discussion.
Details of their meeting have not been yet made public.
Recall that the fiery preacher had once said, “The country’s security architecture even worsened (such) that we cannot sleep with two eyes closed. It’s so bad but God is not asleep. Some of my friends do criticise me that I was one of Buhari’s supporters and I had to tell them that I openly supported this man in 2011 but I am not saying I’m not seeing him again. He is someone that I visit sometimes and advises him on what to do and he will listen but once I leave, there is nothing to show for it.
”Later, I started staying back in my house but I have time to pray and plead for mercy…”
Bakare, who once claimed God told him that Buhari was coming to stabilise Nigeria, stated that he was now ready for war and no longer interested in meeting with the president.
He warned that if the President or anyone comes after him for harm, they are likely to learn a lesson.
He said, “I’m not interested in meeting you any longer; no more visits. Now, it is war because Nigeria must be set free.
“I dare you to come after me since that is the usual style now. You might have done it to others. You are about to learn a lesson if you touch me.
“If you know what I have done in secret, bring it to the open. I dare you to come after me if you can. I worked with you; I worked for you; I supported you to get there (where you are). When I talk now, I now have a smelly mouth.”
