According to City People Magazine, there is a great unrest in pastor Tunde Bakare’s Latter Rain Church as many members have deserted the church saying they can no longer follow the doctrine of a man who joined forces with a man (General Buhari) perceived by many, even Northerners, as an Islamic fundamentalist, who told his northern follows never to vote for anyone who was not a Muslim.
Pastor Bakare in the perspective of some of his congregation may have flouted the biblical injunction which says ‘Do not be unequally yoked to an unbeliever’.
Also according to one member of his church, he clearly went against a declaration he made in 2006 in a popular Nigerian Daily where he declared this “Let me tell you the truth by the spirit of God, neither Obasanjo, Atiku, IBB, Buhari, are part of the new. They are part of the old that is decaying. That old is passing away. The new is emerging and these ones are not part of the new.”
So it irked some of his members that he could eat his words and join forces with the ‘old’. They say despite his ability to hear God’s voice, he still took the plunge and latched unto a man that had been divinely rejected by God, making it daunting that the pastor got a revelation from God and then blatantly acted against it
