The General Overseer of The Latter Rain Assembly and Convener of the Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has charged some churches in the country for encouraging corrupt and bad leadership in Nigeria.

Bakare said these churches are aware of the sins of these leaders but would rather class them as sacred cows and untouchable so as to keep receiving their monies.

Speaking on the theme, ‘Corruption and the Soul of the Nation’ during the first anniversary of the Occupy Nigeria Protest in Lagos, Pastor Bakare said he regrets to say that this action by churches have robbed the citizens of realising their potentials in the land.

“The church has failed the nation. Worst oppression is going on in the churches today. Most churches encourage corrupt leaders by failing to tell them the truth and collecting their money.

“It cripples a nation’s character and drains her of substance. We are confronted daily with news and reports of executive corruption in high places, assaulted with a legal system that has long lost respect for the sacredness of justice.

“We have resorted to worshipping and preserving certain sacred cows and even their sires. We have a social system that makes a mockery of a country and her feeble efforts at self-reclamation to the end that even her entire existence becomes a running joke.

“This is not mere alarmism. Our country has long been distorted by corruption and it has progressively eroded her strength and undermined her potential.” he said.
