Okupe Carpets Bakare On Conversion Of Pulpit To Political Podium by HammedSodiqq: 11:02am On Aug 09, 2012
Yesterday, the Senior Special Assiatant to GEJ on Public Affairs OKUPE described as shameful, the conversion of God's altar and Pulpit to a Political podium or forum. It would be recalled that Bakare on Sunday told his congregation that "you may say I no longer teach you bible but politics, that is fine". Blasting Bakare, OKUPE said " Pastor Bakare also falls into that category. It is shameful. You cannot convert the pulpit to a podium."If you want to be a politician, please come out.”
"Pastor Bakare came into politics a few years ago and he became a vice presidential candidate of a major political party, some of us have been in politics for 30 years and we did not even become a governor and we did not say the country must come down, that is unfair. It is unacceptable."
He also accused Pastor Bakare of insincerity and obviously playing to the gallery, insisting that "Boko Haram is something that evolved suddenly in the early part of the life span of this administration. Internal insurgency is not peculiar to Nigeria, it has happened in Oman, Sri lanka, Vietnam, Great Britain, Philippines, Kenya and Iraq.
"I wish to advice that if Pastor Bakare will be fair, he should come out properly to the political Arena and stop using God's Pulpit to throw stones at Gods elect, as no leader will emerge in any praying nation like Nigeria without the blessing of God", Okupe said.
Come to think of it, should God's forum be converted to a political rally? Will politics satisfy our spiritual needs? Is Bakare on the right tract?

A dying nation still require a voice, someone that can still preach hope in time of despair.

When God's annonting departed from King Saul, evil Spirit possessed and tormented him. Only David's melody could restore sanity. This Bakere appears to have been long abandoned by God. He has losed focus. He has deviated. He brags that he no longer teaches the bible but politics. Hmmm, people should watch it. His end is near, he is seeking whom to devour.

I wonder why Christians sit down in such church on Sundays just listen to politics.

Now that Pastor Caleb has recommended some bible portions for him, maybe he will retrace his steps back to God, if not the way desperation for power is pushing him, he might just crash.
