In the interview where the clergyman spoke on his
relationship with the Presiding Bishop of the Winners’ Church; Bakare also
provided answers to series of questions put to him:
On why he tore Bishop Oyedepo’s book, Bakare had this to say:
“People like to create their own Tunde Bakare. I love God, I
love people, I love the godly and the ungodly and I try within my God-given
ability to teach the truth. The reason I fought with my friend, Bishop David
Oyedepo, and tore his book, I remember when we resolved this problem in London,
we came out of a plane, he took me aside and said he was angry with me because
I tore his book. I said I didn’t tear your book, I tore my book.
That is fine, you wrote it, I bought it, so it was my book I
tore. I saw errors in that book because he said the anointing oil is not a
symbol of the Holy Spirit that it is the life of God in a bottle. How can you
write that and I would let it pass.
No! If the anointing oil is the Holy Spirit, then Jesus is a
lamb walking on four legs. These are metaphors and when you have the real, you
leave the shadow. Besides it is for the sick in the New Testament. So, you can
anoint the entire church if they are sick and I would wonder how a sick church
can bring healing to a dying world.”
Bakare also spoke on several other national issues including
his involvement in the recently concluded National Conference as well as his
relationship with General Buhari.
