| Pastor Bakare |
The General
Overseer of The Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has described those
kicking against the Financial
Reporting Council of Nigeria Act, 2011 as money launderers, who
are trying to cover their iniquities.
Bakare, who made this known on
Sunday during his church service, described opponents of the law as lawless. According to him, by opposing the
law, church leaders were trying to prevent the public from knowing about acts
of money laundering that they had indulge in by virtue of their positions.
Pastor Enoch Adeboye had earlier
resigned as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God as
result of the new controversial law.
But Bakare flayed church leaders
for their stance, saying, “I can testify that the law was explained to kingpins
in the church, but now you want to get away because you want to cover your
iniquity. You won’t get away with it.
“You want to get away because you
have laundered money, and you are now trying to cover your yansh”.
Bakare, who doubles as the
Convener of the Save Nigeria Group, praised the law, saying it was good for
order and accountability in the church.
“I am a trained lawyer, I have
read the law. The law specifically mentioned Chief Imams and pastors, that they
can have lifelong terms. But it says you cannot be chief priest, chief
treasurer, and chief administrator.”
He described church leaders who
oppose the law as “Pentecostal charismatic rascals” who want to do whatever
they like even if the law says otherwise.
“You don’t want to comply with
the law, then why did you register under the law? It is a spirit of lawlessness
and the anti-Christ because the anti-Christ is a lawless spirit. The fact that
I am quiet doesn’t mean I am stupid. I don’t fight useless battles”.
