In an interview with The Nigerian Tribune, Pastor Tunde Bakare confirmed that he is not a member of the All Progressive Congress because he is yet to see what set it apart from the People Democratic party. He also noted that the two parties are for jamboree at the moment.
It will be recalled there was fear among the ranks of the APC when it was reported recently that the convener of the Save Nigeria Group liken the party to the church of satan; Blazingchild reported his denial (Read it here)
His words:
You look at both political parties (Peoples Democratic Party and All Progressives Congress) today: everyone in PDP is not a devil; everyone in APC is not an angel. They are beginning to smell and look alike. Maybe when they begin to bring their programmes out, we will be able to compare which is better than the other. Until then, we can’t see anything now other than a lot of jamboree.
To be honest with you, I have no particular passion for any group right now because what I see can be very overwhelmingly grieving to one’s spirit. When I decided and made up my mind to be part of the CPC, I looked at the integrity of General (Muhammadu) Buhari – and I still believe up till this moment that General Buhari is a man of honour, a man of virtue and man of integrity. How I wish he could be an independent candidate, but he has to function within a political party. I just pray that there will not be too many hangers-on that will begin to tamper with his integrity.APC is still evolving. I am not an official, so, I don’t speak for them. The people who are speaking are speaking; those who are working are working. I think before I act; and I investigate before I invest. When the time comes for me to play any significant role (because if there are only two parties, you would have to choose one), I will tell you where I am.
