Now where did the man says God told him to run in the Post? MISLEADING HEADLINE!!

Pastor Bakare told PM News this morning that God had a hand in his decision to join politics and become a running mate to Buhari, quoting Psalm 78: 70, 71 to back up his claims.
Psalm 78:70,71 reads: “He (God) chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: from following the ewes great with young, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.”

Bakare also quoted Romans 13:1, which says “…For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God, to further back up his claims.
With this the cleric said any power that be were ordained by God and that people were just being sentimental about his decision to contest as running mate to Buhari, adding that like God took David from being a shepherd to become king, he also could go higher.

“A shepherd can transit from pasturing a church to ruling a nation. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. There is no authority not ordained by God,” he said.
When asked that Jesus Christ rejected the position of being a king when the Israelites wanted to make him one and that he should emulate the example of Christ, Bakare said Christ rejected that because he had a mission to die for the whole world.

“Christ came for a purpose and he even said my kingdom is not of this world,” he said, saying that should not be misconstrued for Christians not to go into politics.
“I did not accept the offer to be Buhari’s running mate because of fame and popularity; I already have that. I took it because I want to serve my generation according to the will of God and to change things.

“I did not lobby for the position but when Buhari called, I accepted the offer. I consulted with those who mattered and with top echelons in christendom and they gave me the go ahead. We want to change Nigeria perpetually,” he stated.

Don't quote paraphrase, show us where he actually said "God told me to run with Buhari". I am still searching for it. Read a similar article a few days ago and could not see where the man said God told him to run with Buhari. I rather see it fromt he horses mouth than read it in the paraphrase of an overzealous journalist.

Phony200:

^^lol. He'll tell him "TOLD YA!"

Troynow:

I dnt see why people are appalled by this development. Ive neva seen Bakare as a pastor. He's just a politician working by appealing to people's emotions.

Ujujoan:

This is not 'paraphrasing' . . . this is a general interpretation of his statement. He (Bakare) said cannot deny not insisting to have gotten God's permission before running from the comments he made!

The man is phony abeg . . and the fact that he's using God's name to further his political ambition will land him in serious trouble! I pity him!  

Sky Blue:

Interpretation according to who? Can't you read for yourself and make up your own mind or are you that gullible especially for (of all things) the Nigerian press? I am not going to go into a completely unneccesary back and forth, simply redeem yourself by highlighting where the man said in his speech that God told him to run with Buhari. I have provided you with extra link sef. Or is it so difficult? How much junk news have we read from Nigeria? The headline of the article (which I provided) sayd Bakara claims God told him to run with Buhari, and there is not even one quote to that effect? Please! I can't stand junk press!

Ujujoan:

I could easily quote you saying 'Tunde Bakare did not say God asked him to run' . . . .  and I'll be right . .  even though you never actually used those words! 

Just as you can't stand junk press, I can't stand silly arguments! 

Sky Blue:

WOW. How hard is this? Show us in the article where Tunde Bakare is quoted as saying God told him to run with Buhari or anything to that effect. Is that so hard a task?

Ujujoan:

Wow! How hard is it for you to use your brain

Now where did the man says God told him to run in the Post? MISLEADING HEADLINE!!

Sky Blue:

So you can't show us where Bakare said God told him to run with Buhari, but we are to believe it just for the sake of it? Case closed.

Nsiman:

Why didn't God ask him to run as president to fix thing the way He (God) wants but rather ask him to be a V.P?
