The Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church in Lagos , Pastor Tunde Bakare, and a former Minister of Aviation , Femi Fani – Kayode , have settled their differences caused by a sermon delivered by Bakare wherein he praised a former Governor of Lagos State , Bola Tinubu .
Bakare had in a sermon last week, lambasted Tinubu’ s critics and praised the former governor ’ s political sagacity .
He had said , “ I have a word for those Yoruba rancorous elements, noisemakers that have not achieved as much as Asiwaju Tinubu has achieved, but are always querying and worrying themselves about his ancestry.
“ Those who are envious of Mr . Tinubu and those who desire to take his power slot should stop their useless talk about him , and busy themselves with what can add value to society . ”
However, Fani – Kayode had in a scathing article titled , ‘ Who is Squeezing Bakare ’ s Balls?’ , alleged that Bakare was blackmailed by Tinubu’ s camp to deliver the sermon or risk being exposed for something he did in 1990.
However, Bakare took issue with Fani -Kayode ’ s article and it was on the verge of escalating .
But Fani -Kayode said in a Facebook post on Wednesday that they had been able to settle their differences .
The former minister thanked Ovation Magazine Publisher , Dele Momodu , and the Spokesman for the Yoruba Summit Group , Mogaji Gboyega Adejumo, for the role they played in the reconciliation .
He added , “ I just concluded a three -way conversation with Pastor Tunde Bakare and Mogaji Gboyega Adejumo, spokesman of the Yoruba Summit Group.
“ We clarified all issues and put the matter behind us . My respect for Pastor Bakare remains high. I thank Mogaji and Chief Dele Momodu for their intervention . ”
