The Senior Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly, Tunde Bakare, has said God told him not to serve in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari in its first two years.
While urging officials “to come back to God,” he added, “Are you not glad you serve a God who can say come up here and I would show you the things that would happen in the hereafter?”
According to him, he has been under intense pressure even from members of his church to serve in Buhari’s regime but said the time was not yet ripe.

“Here we are today, almost two years into this administration. Many of you were putting pressure on me. Even a retired inspector-general of police wrote to me, he said; ‘Pastor, if you have only served in this government, maybe it would not be like this’.
“And I said to him, ‘God said to me, don’t touch it for the first two years. Don’t go near it, just be praying for them and be watching, and be monitoring the things that are happening’.
“God knows where you should go, when you should go, so stop going aimlessly about. As many as are led by the spirit of God are the sons of God.”
Bakare was Buhari’s running mate in the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) during the 2011 presidential election.
