Tunde Bakare aspired to presidency and competed against President Bola Tinubu

Tunde Bakare aspired to the presidency and competed against President Bola Tinubu in the APC primary on June 8, 2022, where he faced a significant defeat, receiving no votes.

It is important to verify this information. His current statements do not reflect his role as a pastor or prophet; rather, they stem from the perspective of a defeated and resentful contender who desires the President's role.

It is unrealistic to expect fairness, justice, or balance from someone you have bested in a competition.

This situation is akin to anticipating that Kanye West would express admiration for Taylor Swift after losing the Grammy Award for Album of the Year to her.

Bakare previously claimed that he was divinely chosen to be Nigeria's sixteenth President following Buhari. However, the current reality is that Bola Ahmed Tinubu holds that title. Can we expect Bakare to be pleased with Tinubu for occupying a position he believes was promised to him by divine decree?

If Tunde Bakare is willing to misrepresent divine intentions—having previously asserted in 2006 that the Holy Spirit revealed to him that Buhari was part of Nigeria's troubled past, only to later align himself with Buhari in 2011—what makes you think he would not mislead others?
