Tunde Bakare, General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, says he has God’s instructions to run for the presidency. However, he hasn’t exactly said when he would contest.

Delivering his New Year sermon at his church located in the Ogba area of Lagos, Bakare also said “many political juggernauts” would fall at the feet of women in 2018.

He reminded his congregation about how he had predicted that a former President would die between two women and had it came to pass.

“In 1998, I told you that I saw your President dying between two women. Did it happen?

“I’m telling you again: some of these political juggernauts will fall at the feet of women and you will see it happen,” he said.

Bakare further said that God had instructed him to run for the presidency.

“In my study around 4am on Sunday morning, God told me ‘you cannot bring your political career to a close; there is still more to do. Run for the Presidency. I will do it at the appointed time,” Bakare narrated.

“Joseph did not contest an election; yet, he became the prime minister of Egypt. Why must I worry myself about where to get the resources for the task?

“Your own duty in this assignment is to pray along with me. When it is the appointed time, He (God) will do it. When He tells me the time, you will hear about it.”

Bakare was the Vice Presidential candidate for the now rested Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in 2011, when he contested as Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate but lost to former President, Goodluck Jonathan.

In 2015, after the amalgamation of the CPC and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Buhari chose another pastor, Yemi Osinbajo, as his running mate, with whom he won the election.
