The State Security Service SSS, Monday invited convener of the Save Nigeria Group, SNG, and ex-vice presidential candidate’ Pastor Tunde Bakare for questioning over the content of his Sunday sermon asking President Goodluck Jonathan to resign from office.
Bakare, who is also the Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, was invited to meet with the State director of the SSS at its Shangisha office in Lagos for a 2 pm meeting.
In a letter of invitation issued by State Director of Security for Lagos state and signed by Mr A. Salami stated that “I am directed to invite you for interview by the State Director of Security, State Security Service (SSS) at the Command Headquarters along CMD Road Shangisha, Magodo, Lagos on Monday July 23, 2012 at 1400 hours.
Accept the assurance of the State Director of Security highest esteem, please.”
The fiery Lagos pastor had on Sunday, July 22, 2012 delivered a sermon titled: ‘How to change government peacefully and make society better’, where he advised President Jonathan to resign from office.
Confirming the invitation in a telephone chat, spokesman of the Save Nigeria Group, Mr Yinka Odumakin explained that it was “ basically a friendly chat.”
Odumakin said “Pastor Bakare was invited and was asked to give them a copy of the sermon he preached in church, there was nothing extraordinary of outrageous in what he said. It was more of a cordial chat that lasted for one hour ten minutes.”
Quote
He added that “basically, they are doing their own job as the state security of the state and then, he is doing his own call to make the country better for the people living in the country. Everyone is doing his for as long as there is mutual respect. There is no cause for alarm. Like I told you, it was a friendly chat. He was invited for a meeting for 2 pm but he got there at about 3:10 pm”.

Instead of him to concentrate on preaching the world of God and bringing more souls to our lord jesus, he is busy abusing politicians and Jonathan's government, some times when I hear his preaching I began to ask my self if this man is addressing members of a political party or what, God Ordained him to preach the word of God and not to be a politician, Okotie tried it many times and failed, and now because he, bakare failed an election with his master Buhari , he resulted in insulting the president in any of his Sunday services, this just a sign of a frustrated man.

i still can't locate the passage that says a pastor should also be a politician in the bible.... because he fails, he now choose to insult them with his sermon..
and Jonathan also, i think Nigerians should summon him and ask him some questions also...why he choose to sponsor the BOKO HARAM to end innocent people's life.

Seriously, i can't figure out how some pastors intend to mix politics and pastorship together. It can never work; esp in Nigeria. Tunde Bakare should concentrate on preaching salvation and winning souls for God and keep his nose out of politics. The best he could do is pray for positive changes in Nigeria.
KINDLY IGNORE ANY TYPING ERROR, IT'S CALLED SLIP OF FINGER. R.I.P HATERS.
