Pastor of The Latter Rain Assembly (End-Time Church), Tunde Bakare, yesterday threw a punch at the leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), warning that economic dangers loom in the country.
At the church’s last-Sunday-of-the-year service in Lagos, the cleric said after PDP had dominated political power in the country for 15 years, the party had shown that it had nothing to offer than poor performance.
He told the congregation that the nation needed a change in leadership, adding that the time was now. On the kind of leadership needed, the pastor, who turned 60 recently, promised to address Nigerians on the state of the nation by the first Sunday in 2015.
“After 15 years of PDP dominance and about five years of President Jonathan’s rule, what else can they offer? There had been so much giving and little return for the people. It is time for change and what kind of change do we want? I will dedicate first Sunday of next year to finding the way forward out of the situation. There is danger ahead. It is like a time bomb ticking. Those who have ears would hear and I pray that God will preserve our lives till that day,” Bakare said.
The cleric, who was the presidential running mate to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari under the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), described the country as a jungle. He lamented that it was difficult to do business in a legitimate way in the country without bribing one’s way through.

The APC has been consistent in saying that the PDPhas ruled Nigeria for 16 disastrous years in whichcorruption, impunity, insurgency, armed robbery andseveral ills of society held sway, but at a very closelook at the APC, I am seeingAmaechi - 8yrs speaker; 7yrs governor under PDP,Atiku - 8yrs Vice president under PDP,Akume - 8yrs governor under PDP,Bukola Saraki - 8yrs governor; 2yrs Senator underPDP,Timipre Sylva -4yrs governor under PDP,Audu Ogbe - 2yrs chairman of PDP,Aminu Masari - 4yrs Reps speaker under PDP,Chris Ngige - 3yrs governor under PDP,Kwankwaso - 7yrs governor,3yrs Defense ministerunder PDP,El rufai - 4yrs FCT minister, 2yrs BPE chairman underPDP...and to cap it all they went to OBJ begging, a manwho spent 8 of the disastrous 16yrs as the maximumruler of Nigeria to come and lead them on a rescuemission.It is now clearer that APC is a waste basket of the PDP,where the people who created and perpetuated the "16 Disastrous years" are now dumped. ..pleaseNigerians what is the change in this APC?
