“Tunde Bakare is a confused Man” – CAN

Pastor Tunde Bakare

“We read the story credited to Tunde Bakare; first of all, he is not a member of CAN and we are not surprised because he is more of a politician than a Pastor. One day, he will wake up and speak as a politician and another day; he will speak as a Pastor. But for him to say that CAN has no right to speak on somebody like El-Rufai who derogates the person of our Lord Jesus Christ is a very great offence. We want to tell Tunde Bakare to come out clearly and tell us where he belongs, either a Christian or a Muslim because he cannot be speaking from the two sides of his mouth. We are not surprised at the attitude of Bakare. Who is a disciple of Bakare? He was in Deeper Life Bible Church; Bakare went to Four Square Bible Church; from there, he went to Redeemed Christian Church of God and from there he ended in Latter Rain Bible Church where he is pastoring. In all of these churches, he has been in crises with them. He abused Baba Adeboye, W.F. Kummuyi and wherever he goes, he fights them. No Pastor makes trouble like Bakare and he is quarreling with everybody. So we are not surprised to see him abusing CAN and supporting El-Rufai’s reckless statement. It goes to show his character!” – stated the Reverend Emmanuel Dzieggau, the President of TEKAN on Tuesday January 5, 2013 in response to Tunde Bakare’s diatribe against the Christian Association of Nigeria [CAN] public comment of El Rufai’s tweet on Jesus Christ.

It has become obvious the last of the insulting tweet by the former Minster of the Federal Capital Territory [FCT], Malam Nasiru El Rufai against Jesus Christ may have not been heard. This as the incident found new wings through the latest comments against the Christian Association of Nigeria [CAN] by the vice presidential candidate of the 2011 presidential elections under the Congress for Progressive Change [CPC] – Tunde Bakare who had in his state of the nation address in Lagos faulted CAN – stating that from its criticism of El-Rufai’s tweet on Jesus Christ, CAN was only diverting attention from grave issues affecting the country. He also alleged that CAN was an extension of the Jonathan government.

Responding, a group of 13 churches within the Christian Association of Nigeria faulted Tunde Bakare – the controversial Pastor and Founder of Latter Rain Bible Church – and challenged him to define his religious status – whether he is a Christian or Muslim. The group which operates under the name of “Tarayar Ekklisiyar Kristi A Nijeriya” [TEKAN] in Hausa language added that Tunde Bakare’s antecedents were more of a politician than a pastor.

Reverend Emmanuel Dzieggau, the President of TEKAN, who spoke with journalists in Abuja on Tuesday January 5, 2013 urged Nigerians to disregard comments from people like Bakare “because if not in Nigeria, nobody will entertain a man like Bakare who double speak”. Dzieggau pointed to Tunde Bakare’s actions as that of a confused mind. This he said while pleading with Nigerians to not take him seriously because he has yet to recover from the shock of the lost election.

Dzieggau said that if it were to be the other way round that a Christian made a derogatory remark against Prophet Mohammed, the country would have by now been on fire. But “we are not going to fight for our God; we have left El-Rufai in the hands of God. Anybody who speaks ill of Jesus Christ does not go scot-free because the God in Heaven knows how to deal with him.”

Concerning Tunde Bakare kneejerk tendencies to jump into controversies, the TEKAN added that Bakare has lost his spiritual compass.

“What does he know about CAN for him to say that CAN is a department of government. What has the issue of Jesus Christ sleeping with women got to do with government? CAN has never been an appendage of government but has been known to be a constructive critic of the authorities. If inciting people against government is what Bakare is looking for he will fail because CAN is a responsible organization. But because Bakare lost election to President Goodluck Jonathan, he has been inciting people against the Federal Government. But we will not toe his line of thought and he should not compare CAN with the madness they do in politics.”

Nawah ooo.
First to comment.

Before Bakare said it we already knew, " CAN saying all these now simply confirms what we've been saying. Laughing to a tweet doesn't necessarily mean an endorsement to that tweet

Good 4 him....second 2 comment

O God why have criminals taken over CAN.they way the respond to issues are obvious .is anyone hearing what i am seeing

Na wa o. After bashing Tunde Bakare publicly, they still use the same mouth to say that they can't fight for God in the matter. See

But “we are not going to fight for our God; we have left El-Rufai in the hands of God. Anybody who speaks ill of Jesus Christ does not go scot-free because the God in Heaven knows how to deal with him.”

From which side of their mouths are they speaking now? SMH for this group.

Tunde bakare is one person that that does not want to go away from the mind of the public. I believe he should be ignored. Instead of given him cheap publicity.

Godless 419ners in the garb of men of God, how does this unnecessary rant promote ecumenism and unity of the Christian churches? If CAN is not up in arms against the Catholic, it will be a bitter diatribe against Bakare, while the thieves called rulers crowned by the same hypocritical leadership of CAN continues the looting spree. Its time other forthright denominations review their stands in CAN.

Inasmuch as i am with CAN on this, i think bakare should just be ignored. he is not relevant in the scheme of things, even of the opposition he claims to represent.

Who acts more like a politician? The curent leadership of CAN that goes about hobnobing with the biggest crooks and felons in the land or Tunde Bakere?

Ever since tunde bakare lost his election he speaks as if they nut holding his brain has losed.He among the fake pastors in nigeria,those going to his church are trying.

Tunde Bakare - The Nairaland 2012 Hall of Fame Inductee

CAN keeps confirming the notion that they've become an appendage of the PDP with every single utterance of theirs. While poverty, corruption, crime etc is on the increase, CAN has become an attack-puppy for the PDP, engaging in petty verbal fist-cuffs with perceived enemies of the PDP-led FG.

Shame on CAN!!

Shame on the bling-bling flaunting, cocaine-sniffing morrafoccker who parades his criminal self as CAN's president!!!

Another irresponsible response from CAN. Do you all see the similarities between CAN and PDP Pastor Bakare talked about? Responding to every criticism and "attacking the messenger". CAN is belittling the christians of Nigeria and need to be called to order.

rooftech: O God why have criminals taken over CAN.they way the respond to issues are obvious .is anyone hearing what i am seeing

I see Doyin Okupe's handwriting in this response by CAN.

CAN is confused as they are more partisan than PTB

CAN has taken over olisa metuh job,

They have to work for the jet.
If not catholic, it will be el-rufai and mow it is bakari. Tomorrow they will accuse the newly mega party

Thank God I am a catholic.

So long papa ayo is the president of CAN there is no way i can see any good in them Cause he make sure that the urhobo's of delta state don't bennefite any thing from uduaghan

Bakare's church is deserted.
With time he will be preaching to empty chairs.

Op, the title of the thread is misleading.

The press statement was made by a group of 13 churches, the group operates under the name of “Tarayar Ekklisiyar Kristi A Nijeriya” [TEKAN] in Hausa language as rightly stated in the thread, how does this translate into CAN opinion on Bakare

Yet some supposed educated lot are already at daggers drawn over a sensationalized issue without bothering to read through the story.

I wonder what his church goers think of him.

this can peeps are bought over slowpokes. tunde bakare is way credible than all those mofos put together. it will make sense for those brainless mofos to keep their stinking mouth shut.

Adura_ngba: I wonder what his church goers think of him.

They're too civilized, exposed and sensible enough to know right from wrong, this is why they are still in his church hearing the bitter truth.

Too bad, everyone can't be wise and smart, if not, you should also be a truth seeker.

He is more of a disoriented gadfly than simply a confused man.

CAN keeps opening their can of worms as the governments instrument against the opposition. Little wonder the Catholic Church severed away from them.


Frawzey

The present leadership of CAN has rubbished the organization's hallowed reputation as a no-nonsense, non partsan voice of the Christians in Nigeria.

Those who are speaking against the real man of God in the name of Tunde Bakare are only making fool of themselves here.
Your so call CAN all together, visited Yaradua during his time and came back to misinform all of us about the health condition of the man. you are all at it again with your followers, those you’ve succeeded to brain watched and left in the dark, those who could not understand the different between the faith and best way of governing people, those who enriched themselves at the detriment of your family, those who endanger your lives all on a daily basis. Open your dummy brain and allow cupid be where it belong. Mumu fellow!

hahahahahaahhaahhahahahahahahhahaa
