Pastor Tunder Bakare the General
Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly has disclosed that former governor of
Lagos State, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, can never compare with Obafemi Awolowo, former
premier of Western Region.
According to Premium Times, the fiery preacher said Tinubu does not belong in the same class
with Obafemi Awolowo, and does not deserve to take the place of the late sage
as the leader of the Yoruba race.
He said although both leaders made
unique contributions in bringing the race together, Mr. Awolowo belonged to a
special breed created by God and was only in the class of world leaders like
Mahatma Gandhi of India.
Mr. Bakare stated this in an
interview published in the second edition of The Interview magazine, a new
monthly publication led by a former Group Managing Director of Leadership
Newspaper, Azubike Ishiekwene.
Mr. Tinubu, a national leader of the
ruling All Progressives Congress, holds the title of Asiwaju, one of the
numerous titles also held by the late premier of Western region, who passed
away in 1987.
Asiwaju in the Yoruba language means
“the frontline leader.”
