A Tale Of Two Pastors Who Pastors Who Were APC Presidential Candidates By Isiaq Kunle Sanni
POLITICS DIGEST- I do not hate Christians because of their religion and that is the way of most Muslims.
Unfortunately, many Christians incurably and unpretensively hate Islam and Muslims because of their religion.
In spite of my religious accomodation, I still wonder why Christians allow themselves to be held by the jugular and be deceived repeatedly by their pastors who see ‘wrong visions’.
During the last election in the United States not a single prophet in Nigeria procastinated that Trump would lose the election. They were all unanimous and unambiguously ‘told by God’ that the nickname of the canterkerous and ebullient Trump was MR VICTORY.
Eventually to our spiritual amazement, Trump was trounced terribly.
I thought my Christian friends would ask their Pastors if their God who saw Trump a victorious president is blind or dead.
Life continued….
Pastor Tunde Bakare said he would abandon the priesthood if Obasanjo won his second term in office. Obasanjo won and the people who worship Bakare in his church did not stop their spiritual loyalty to him in spite of his faulty spiritual projection and false prophesy.
Before Tunde Bakare went and squandered N100 million from the tithe of poor people in his congregation to buy a form to compete in the last APC Primaries. He unabashedly and audaciously confidenntly told his congregation that the Almighty God told him that he is the next landlord of Aso Rock and 16th President of Nigeria. Come and see the euphoria and jubilation in his Church that day. Any sane political observer can project that it was rather Satan not God that gave him this false hope. All politically sagacious Nigerians thought it was a straight battle between Tinubu and his ‘traitor, but political son’, Osinbajo. Pastor Bakare was not in the political radar. Yet that day it was jubilation galore in his church.
One would not be far away from concluding that most Christians suffer from congregational amnesia and delusion. Have they forgotten so soon that this same Pastor Bakare told them that God said Obasanjo should be packing his bag and baggages for his Otta farm as God did not destiny him to be in Aso Rock for another second term?
I wonder what Bakare would tell his fanatical followers on Sunday when at least one angel could not diguise as a man to save him from such political opprobrium of scoring ZERO vote. Was it not Satan alias Lucifer, the incurable deceiver that gave him the confidence to go and squander N100 million on a day dreaming adventurism. Bakare, a supposed man of God probably could have bought paradise for himself if he had used N100 million to sink 100 boreholes in 100 villages in Ogun State, his state of origin.
Rather, he lavished it on ego and political game. When I was watching the APC presidential primaries Live on Tv, I laughed at Pastor Bakare, a man endowed with oratorical prowess of no mean dimension when he said prior to the convention money was changing hands to compromise prospective voters.
Would Bakare swear by his god who said he would be the 16th president if he is oblivious of the fact that what we practice in Nigeria is Moneyocracy, Nairatocracy or Dolllartocracy? It is not Democracy.

He should have joined the erstwhile Minister of State for Education, Emeka Nwajuiba who refused to come to the podium to address the delegates or step down from the contest.

Now to the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo who before his irresponsible ambition to bite the fingers that fed him, I had loved, for his brilliance and unparalleled articulation. He is probably the most brilliant and most articulate vice president in Nigerian history.
His case is identical to that of Pastor Tunde Bakare. The difference lies in the fact that God spoke directly to Bakare but for PYO he has not climbed the spiritual realm where God will talk to him directly. God conveyed the message of his MR PRESIDENTSHIP through his spiritual father, ‘Daddy G.O’ Adeboye, the soft spoken alternative god of the Redeemed Church.
When the whole world was crying BETRAYAL for him: contesting against Tinubu who brought him from political obscurity to the apex of political Eminence. Tinubu made him Commissioner for eight years and nominated him for the post of Vice President that would In sha Allah last for another eight years. Even if one is not a “man of God” like Pastor Osinbajo, but a man of conscience, what would push you to go and cross sword with your benefactor?
That is where Bakare and Osinbajo’s tendencious and fatuous bravado became identical. Osinbajo is a Pastor of Redeemed Church and worships, an alternative god, Pastor Adeboye. In December last year during the annual Holy Ghost night, Adeboye had predicted not only that a prominent pastor of the Redeemed Church will wear the Presidential toga in 2023, he he equally said in ten years whoever is not a member of Redeemed Church would become politically Irrelevant in the scheme of things in Nigeria.
Osinbajo was alive and a political bigwig when Baba G.O Adeboye procastinated wrongly that Trump would be the winner of the last Presidential election in the United States.
As a gullible follower of Adeboye, Tinubu and his fervent ambition became inconsequential.
Even when he saw the way he was received as a shameless traitor in most States he went in Yorubaland, the false prophesy of Adeboye kept his shameless hope alive.
The rumour gained currency a day to the APC primaries when virtually all the states in the North with the largest number of delegates and of course those in Yorubaland had decided on bulk votes for the Jagaban, a delegation led by Chief Segun Osoba met Osinbajo appealing to him to step down for Tinubu, he asked to be allowed to put a call to Baba Adeboye. His ‘alternative God’ told him: THE LORD HAD SPOKEN STEP DOWN NOT FOR ANYBODY.
I almost shed tears in sympathy for Osinbajo when on his arrival at Eagle Square, he wanted to pay homage to the South West delegates and he had to turn back in humiliation when he was confronted with shout of ODALE (Betrayer) OLE (Thief) and obviously he stole nothing.
If I were him when I was told to speak at the convention I would have pocketed my ego and stepped down for Asiwaju when seven aspirants have initially done so.
But the prediction of Baba Adeboye to Yemi Osinbajo was sacrosanct.
What a shame!
My Christian friends! If there are contemporary Christian prophets in the world, they are yet to be born in Nigeria. Without any fear of being contradicted, you accepted hook, line and sinker the prophecies of Nigerian pastors and prophets to your peril.
