The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly (LRA), Tunde Bakare has revealed that former minister of education, Oby Ezekwesili, is set to contest for the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Speaking at the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) Lagos on Monday, the fiery preacher said the former vice president of the World Bank will seek the highest political office in the land.

In his words;

“By the way, my sister Oby is stepping into politics now, she is going to contest for the office of the president, and I am waiting for October 7 to throw in my cap, so we can crash the entire system and begin to demand for a new Nigeria that we deserve,”.

Bakare, said that Nigeria has been structurally skewed to run a system that perpetuates bad leadership.

The pastor urged Nigerians to engage the polity and demand for a new Nigeria, as envisioned by our founding fathers.

“Fellow Nigerians, the essence of this restructured pathway is to resuscitate the dreams of our founding fathers with respect to the Nigeria of our dreams.

“It is to revive the spirit of the stunted child, and transit her from her rested development into the great and prosperous motherland God designed her to be.

“It is to unite the six geo-political brothers to a winning and an unstoppable economic team. It is to unlock the diverse economic potential of our nation until the dreams of our fathers are realised.

“Those dreams were written in the creeds, contained in our founding documents, they were crafted in speeches made by our founding fathers, they were inserted in the lyrics of our founding national anthems.”

okay.ng recalls that Tunde Bakare sometime in April declared his support for Buhari’s Re-Election Bid.
