IT IS SAD TO SEE WHAT PST AYO ORITSEJAFOR AND PDP HAVE TURNED C.A.N INTO. VERY SAD : 13 Church Groups Blast Bakare

A collection of 13 church groups within the Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN), yesterday, have faulted the comments by the controversial Pastor and Founder of Latter Rain Bible Church, Tunde Bakare, on the tweet by a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, telling him to come out plain if he is a Christian or Muslim.
Bakare, in his address in Lagos said that from its criticism of El-Rufai’s tweet on Jesus Christ, CAN was only diverting attention from grave issues affecting the country, even as he reiterated that that CAN was an extension of government.
But the Christian group which operates under the auspices of “Tarayar Ekklisiyar Kristi A Nijeriya” in Hausa language, said it was not surprised, because Bakare was more of a politician than a pastor.
The President of TEKAN, Reverend Emmanuel Dzieggau, in an interview with Journalists in Abuja reminded Bakare that God will fight whoever makes derogatory remarks about Him.
According to him, as the President of TEKAN, a conglomeration of 13 denominations, Nigerians should disregard comments from people like Bakare because if not in Nigeria, nobody will entertain a man like Bakare who double speak.
Dzieggau described Bakare as a confused mind adding that Nigerians should rather not take him serious, because he has not recovered from the shock of the lost election and that is what is affecting him.
“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 had 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!” he said.
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.
He stated that because “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.  It is a shame that a man like Tunde Bakare will always like to jump into controversy.
