Bakare lashes out at CAN, says ‘it’s an appendage of govt’

Pastor and Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has lashed out at the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), saying the body has become nothing more than a political appendage of the government.

Speaking during the Sunday service in his church at Ogba area of Lagos State, the Fiery cleric questioned the moral judgment the leadership of CAN had to criticise and call the ex-Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Mallam Nassir el-Rufai, a “bigot” over recent statements which, he claimed, did not originate from the former minister.
