Tunde Bakare is back in the eye of controversy when he said that "Jonathan belittled his office by kneeling in front of Adeboye publicly."
During a recent interview with the Punch he was asked "don’t you think that 2015 is still far away for campaigning to have started?
He replied: "They have signaled the campaign by going to kneel down before Pastor Adeboye. See, I am not saying that pastors should not pray for presidents, that man was representing an office; a whole nation crumbling before men of God because of political advantage they think they can get. And if the prayer will bail him out, let us wait and see. The truth is who is preparing for 2015, which faction of the PDP? Is it the (Olusegun) Obasanjo faction? Or IBB faction? Or Jonathan faction? The governors’ faction? Because PDP is a house divided against itself; it’s a chicken that has begun to eat its own intestines. By going to kneel down in the open before the pastor, the man (Jonathan) did not even recognize the dignity of his office. If it were a private thing, it is okay for you to crawl or kneel but it is a whole nation. That office has been diminished by a man who does not know the worth of it and does not deserve to stay there for one more day.
From this same interview came another comment that generated furor. Pastor Bakare was asked "Supposing the President chooses to come and fellowship at your church, what would you do?"
He answered "Let him try it. Jonathan dares not and if he does, he will sit at the back."
