The Senior Pastor and Founder of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on Friday afternoon visited President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Villa.

This is coming just 82 days after the cleric vowed not to visit the president again.

Buhari and Bakare have been friends for years. They contested together in 2011 under the platform of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change.

Buhari’s media adviser, Femi Adesina posted the pictures of the duo and supported it with a caption that reads, “President Buhari receives Pastor Tunde Bakare in State House on 15th Oct 2021.”

Bakare in his State of the Nation message on July 25, 82 days ago, spat fire, condemning Buhari over atrocities and excesses of his government.

He vowed not to visit the Daura-born ex-military general again.

Bakare had said, “I’m not interested in meeting you any longer; no more visits. Now, it is war because Nigeria must be set free.

“I dare you to come after me since that is the usual style now. You might have done it to others. You are about to learn a lesson if you touch me.

“If you know what I have done in secret, bring it to the open. I dare you to come after me if you can. I worked with you; I worked for you; I supported you to get there (where you are). When I talk now, I now have a smelly mouth.”

He further explained that injustice and lack of equity were responsible for the recent calls for secession in the country.

“We must realise that what has given rise to the agitation is lack of justice and equity. When there is justice, when there is equity, agitation will die down,” Bakare had added.
