I Trust Buhari But Doubt His Environment – Bakare

The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Tunde Bakare, on Tuesday said although he trusts the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), he doubts the credibility of “his environment.”


It was clear that Bakare was talking about Buhari’s party, the APC.

The pastor addressed Christians at the annual Lenten lecture of the Island Club in Lagos.

He enjoined Christians to vote wisely, saying , “I believe in contact without contamination.”

Bakare, who was the running mate of Buhari on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 presidential election, said he was not a politician but a nation builder.

He said whoever loses the presidential election should accept the winner and join hands to move the nation forward.

He said, “If Buhari wins, let President Goodluck Jonathan accept defeat. Whoever loses is not a loser. And if President Goodluck Jonathan wins, Buhari should accept this as the will of God.”

Speaking on fasting, he urged Christians in the country to examine the true spirit behind the Lenten fast, saying fasting was not an antidote to problems but an opportunity to submit to the will of God.

The pastor attributed the wrong attitude of Christians to fasting to biblical illiteracy.

He maintained that the true fasting ordained by God was explained in Isaiah 58, highlighting the need to help the poor and be led by God to observe it.

He said, “It is essential for adherents to critically examine the spirit behind the fast with a view to ensuring that it is not an
attempt to obtain righteousness before God.”

Christian Botany Students Visit Covenant Orphanage Home

The body of Christian students of the Department of Botany, Obafemi Awolowo University on Sunday visited the Covenant Orphanage Home in Moro, Osun state to reach out to the children there.


The Botany Students’ Christian Fellowship (BSCF) in her usual manner was again in Moro with scores of her members to have a nice time with the children there and also to give to the Orphanage home. The children were treated to a great delight as the event set them on a high to participate in various fun-filled programmes including riddles & jokes and quizzes. These children rejoicingly told their visitors and aspirations not minding their current circumstances. “My name is Oluwasanjo, I want to become a Pharmacist” One of the children opened up.

The President and Coordinator of BSCF, Samuel Alabi while giving his charge to the children encouraged them to see themselves beyond their current state as the outside world cannot wait to see their manifestations in no time.

“These are some things in our lives that we cannot control. I want to tell you that you are not the only one in this journey, we all have our stories”

He however prayed for the children that the giant lying in their lives will rise. The woman in charge of the Home, Mrs E. O. Oroyomi in her words appreciated the Christian botany students for sparing their time to come and bless them spiritually and materially. She also referred back to the time she was young as she was always visiting orphanage homes the way the botany students do, not knowing God was preparing her to set up something like this.


BSCF Sisters’ Coordinator and Chairperson of the Orphanage Home Visitation Committee, Temitope Olatunji in her Vote of Thanks remark appreciated God, the Home, lecturers of botany department that supported the project, all executive members of BSCF and all students of OAU who were part of the trip for their time and sacrifice. The event came to a close with a photo session where everyone joyously participated.

OAU Decides 2015: O. Busayo Steps Down As Azaro Joins Race

One of the candidates wishing to go for the post of Secretary General of the Obafemi Awolowo University’s Students’ Union, Olatunde Busayo also known as O. Busayo has decided to step down. When asked why he decided to stand down, he claimed that he has too many things he is handling already and will still find himself holding some more tasking positions come next session, hence, his decision to end the ambition.


Olatunde Busayo is the outgoing president of the National Association of Students of English and Literary Studies (Nasels), OAU. Backing out of the election leaves other candidates like Hon. Seun, Sammy H. Peters, Ibiyemi, Adejobi Captain to slug it out among themselves.

Azaro joins race

In other news, the 2015 Student’s Union Election of Obafemi Awolowo University is getting hotter as another popular student, Odutan Ahmed aka Azaro joined the race to become the president of the student’s union. Azaro was the clerk of the house for the outgoing administration but resigned from the post few weeks to the end of the administration.

Ahmed Oduntan Azaro is popular among OAU Students but got himself in a hot mess recently when he lied to the OAU populace that he didn’t tender any letter of resignation but only to confess later that he did. He has since apologized to the students and stated reasons behind his action.

It will be interesting to know how Azaro will fare at the polls as he has equally popular candidates who have started their campaign strategically before now
