The Senior Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly (LRA), Tunde Bakare, on Sunday, asked the people of Lagos State to stop praising those that stole the resources meant for their development.
He also asserted that “the person that stole will vomit all they have stolen before he goes.”
Speaking during a sermon at the Latter Rain Assembly on Sunday, Bakare said the people are praising the one who stole from them and regarding him as a generous man.
A report monitored on The Cable News, said it was unfortunate that the people were suffering because the funds needed for their development had been stolen, saying those who stole are “living larger than life having jets here, having jets there, having houses in Bourdillon.”
“The national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, lives in Bourdillon.”
According to him, the people had been describing those who stole from them as being generous after siphoning the money meant for them.
The fiery preacher, who also spoke about the race to 2023, added that a truly generous man is a man who “devises generous things, and by generosity, he shall stand.”
Bakare said, “The eyes of those who see will not be dim. The ears of those who hear will listen. Also, the heart of the rash will understand the knowledge and the tongue of the stammerers will be ready to speak plainly,” Bakare said.
“The foolish person would no longer be called generous. You can say ‘so so and so’ has stolen all the money in the state, but he is a very generous man, you are foolish.
“That’s why potholes are killing you, you can’t drive now anymore because what is meant for road has been stolen since democracy began, they are living larger than life having jets here, having jets there, having house in Bourdillon, having house in this place, having house in that place, having house in every place at the expense of the public.
“You will not go without vomiting what you have stolen. Wait, and see. Because a king will reign in righteousness and princes will rule with justice. Unfortunately, Nigeria people, you celebrate your villains and crucify your heroes,” Bakare said.
Speaking about the perennial floods in Lagos, the clergyman said the state government had not done the right thing to save the people from the problem.
Bakare said, “You’re complaining about flood since 1999 the condition of this road for 30 years now since I’ve been here has remained the same. They’ll do patch-patch, join-join, until the rain comes and reveal that they have not been right with the people.
“And you think your children will stand shoulder high above the perversity you have created? I see the race to 2023, congratulations Presidential ‘hope-fools’. You cannot, you have stolen what belongs to all.
“You can tell the man, he is a very generous man, he would pay for your hospital bill. Because he didn’t build hospitals. The foolish person will no longer be called generous,” Bakare said.
Woe betides the government that does not know that the purpose of government is the welfare of the people.”
