It is not common in our world, or at least in this part of the world, to have somebody combine these three titles: Lawyer, Pastor and Politician. But that is exactly who Gbolahan Sindiku Babatunde Bakare is.
Born on November 11, 1954, the converted Moslem, now a church founder is widely recognised as a no-nonsense preacher of the gospel, often using the gospel to constructively criticise various Nigerian governments.
The fearless preacher was born and bred in Abeokuta, Ogun State, South-West Nigeria where he had his Primary and Secondary School education.
He furthered his education at the University of Lagos where he read law. He once served in the late Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Gani Fawehinmi's Chambers. Dr. Tunde Bakare was converted into Christianity at the age of 20. Got married at the age of 30 to Mrs. Olayide Bakare. The family is blessed with 5 children, 2 girls and 3 boys.
The popular Preacher is the convener of the Save Nigeria Group and currently the Vice Presidential Candidate of the Congress For Progressive Change(CPC) in the April Polls in Nigeria.
