The Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said a majority of those that constitute the power blocs in the country are in of All Progressives Congress pres‎idential candidate, Muhammad Buhari.

He said this while speaking on the theme, ‘Nigeria beyond 2015′, at a public lecture organised by Angola Hall of Obafemi Awolowo University, Osun State, on Wednesday.

According to him, power blocs in any country influence and determine winners during elections.

The Nigerian power blocs, he said, were peoples vote, council of state, clerics, governors, traditional rulers, top entrepreneurs and retired generals.

The cleric said, “Peoples vote determines electoral victory anywhere in the world, the entrenched power blocs determine electoral victory more than anything. There are six or seven political blocs entrenched in Nigeria. The incumbent president and former head of states – council of state. From the council of states, we have two candidates – one former head of state and one incumbent president. There are six others that I want you to consider on whose side they are.

“Traditional rulers, retired generals, who have tasted power, who can you say clearly is the person they are ing? The governors and let us consider the corporate boys, who are the men of commerce. Where is Aliko Dangote, Otedola,Tony Elumelu and others?

“Look at those who control the large constituents of people on Sunday. Tell me who is Pastor Adeboye, Oyedepo, Oritsejafor backing? Those who influence voting are doing so behind the scene and when the results come, we say ‘they have cheated us’.

“Don’t be deceived by what they say in the paper, a lot happens behind the scene. I agree with you, I have said earlier that my loyalty lies with Buhari and maybe because I am an insider, I know better than you.”

If Buhari emerges victorious, the pastor noted that 100 days would be too much to hand over power to the APC candidate.

He said, “If we don’t run it (Nigeria) properly, we will be running into a major storm that can consume us. The February 2015 election further provides the incubator for the hatching of the dreaded scenarios.

“Nigeria has a way of throwing up anti-climax. If Buhari wins, what will happen between March and May. It is too long a time.”

yoruba power blocs cannot hand Buhari presidency. This is not south west

I suspect TY Danjuma and all ex military heads of state are backing Buhari.
Jonathan is in trouble!

Nigeria is too educated to be represented by that 'misfit'.
The constitution should also be reviewed. If there must be that age limit, With our level of education, M.Sc, M.BA levels and their equivalents should be the lowest requirements.

The most divine power is behind him too.

Obviously you know nothing about the oil industry. The major players have been entrenched for decades, no matter the government in power.

Bye bye Cluelessness!!

The oracle has spoken

It will take more than a miracle for GEJ to remain Nigeria's president after may 29th.

Next month we shall put his hypothesis to the ultimate test at the polls . . . .

I respect Tunde Bakare alot..!!
He said well.

Don't quite understand that Bakare's analysis and how he thinks it favouts Buhari

You know better than we do........

Scam I was at Oduduwa hall and Pastor bakare didn't say such words As the title of the news article suggests
he maintained his earlier stance that the elections should be postponed

It doesn't matter. Yoruba Power Bloc, Hausa Power Bloc, Igbo Power Bloc; our major concern is GEJ must be booted out at all cost.

Sai GMB!

Those that are backing Jona are paperweights compare to those that are against him, there is no way he's going to escape defeat come FEBUHARI 14.

And we shall thwart their plans with our vote.

Even if shekau is backing buhari, he will still fail as usual

So long as its one man one vote.

A ship load of Paperweights will defeat a heavy weight container

Nigerian Press and Junk Journalism

There are two things involved: it's you got to Oduduwa Hall late or were sleeping like Yinka Odumakin, who only woke when Bakare was being applauded. I refer you to a thread of mine that I opened on the said event. It's not different from this.

Busted

Power belongs to God.

If this power block are backing him, I wonder who he is going to send to jail as the fight for corruption goes on. As far as I know the power block are the problem of nigeria.

I saw Odumakin sleeping...... the title is misleading Bakare did not Say the power blocs are ing anyone.... he said who are they backing
The program started quite late and besides I took a picture with Odumakin who seemed like everyone was gonna harm him cos of his GEJ
Am pro APC though

Though Bakare didn't say it, by inference it could be said that he did. You can deduce it when he asked what would happen between February 15 and May 29 when Buhari wins. I was impressed by the shout of "sai Buhari" by Great Ife students.

Ogbeni, if you have a problem with GEJ or his certificates, take a cheap train to Abuja and confront him. I'm not his defence attorney.
Why does the talk of certificates bristle the hackles of these jobless fanatics sef? Go find work do o. February 14th is the expiry date of your current job

even if can't be infered...
Orisejafor and oyedepo do not Buhari.....
Bakare main focus was on the people Bloc which he stated where the most powerful bloc and should utilise it's powers judiciously.....
Danjuma is with GEJ
He and IBB are trying to play safe

You make me laugh. Why not doctorate?

Don't you see the recent argument on economy by those professors on both sides are nothing but economic on paper not realities on the ground. That is an example.
