Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly has said that for Nigeria to witness successful general elections in 2015, issues such as corruption, violence and insecurity must be addressed.


Bakare said this at a news briefing on Sunday in Lagos.

“I seriously and fervently pray that it will not get to the stage of a people’s revolt before positive changes begin to happen in Nigeria.’’

“Without doubt, the catalogue of mismanagement of resources, the unbridled stealing of public funds and the bewildering exposure of the level of corruption in almost every arm of government is a cause for worry.

“For the nation not to crumble, is the reason for my message. This is no time for false accusations and counter accusations,’’ he said.

Bakare said that although President Goodluck Jonathan might be doing his best, the impact could not be felt because of the level of corruption in the country.

According to him, Jonathan deserves sympathy and prayers from the citizens.

Bakare said that whatever positive change might come to the nation would not be engineered by those benefitting from corruption.

“Positive change will only come from a breed without greed and a radical opposition to corruption.

“True genuine change can only come from those not infected by the present corruption malaise; it can only come from positive agents of social change who are totally sold out to public good,’’ he added.

However, Bakare said it was regrettable that those crying for change had yet to take up the challenge of bringing about that change.

On the possibility of contesting future elections, Bakare said: “I will be available to serve if my nation needs me.’’

So can Bakare assure the Nigeian populace that if he (Bakare) is allowed to serve the nation, the corruption level in Nigeria will greatly reduce or disappear completely?

Its all talk if u ask me

This guy talks too much. How well has he served his Church?

Talk is cheap.you are a priest,you come to church,misplace your priorities, preach politics and incite violence. #God is watching you

Is it the same Jonathan he was cursing just some months back?

Sorry but you dont cut it. If we need you?? You were needed to get us closer to salvation and ready for eternity, as your Lord Jesus Christ said "My kingdom is not of this world." But instead you use the opportunity to spread hate and try to advance your chances of ruling this nigeria earthly kingdom. We get killed in dozens and least you could do was to condemn our killers but you chose to shut up. You are already failing in your present assignment, what makes you think we will believe you will perform as a president??

PointB: This guy talks too much. How well has he served his Church?

The Pasor thinks noise making is governance,give him one ward in Lagos he cannot manage talk less of Nigeria,my fear for him is that he should not run mad,because he is showing signs of insanity.

Who is this man self?? Well I think he is talking about his autonomous community,he wants to be their chief.not NIGERIA

How has he impacted on those who have been following him for years now? What change has he initiated? Or is change brought about only when u r elected? We hear of Pastor Chris, Adeboye and Oyedepo, doing great works, employing, building businesses and affecting lives positively, what has he done? I wonder what he stands to achieve. What a misplaced priority. Run pastor, run for ur ministry.

D hidden and real intention of pastor bakare unguided attacks on d govt revealed. He wants to rule nig. Must he be d one to rule d country before all d needed and desirous changes we crave for be a reality? Must all critics of govt be in power before d changes expected take place? Of course, why we criticize let's do it constructively without personal interest

Every oda man of GOD whether muslim or xtian r praying for d country, yet one oda sees himself as anoda savoiur pls let dis ss kip him for awhile and question him properly oh. him want start anoda bokos for lag ? Chineke God no go gree rara ohh
