Pastor Bakare, fondly called PTB, has been one of the nation’s most highly influential and respected spiritual leaders, a fiery and passionate preacher of righteousness, and a courageous advocate for justice.
His interventions on the state of the nation have earned him respect and recognition.
In addition to his prophetic calling, he is also a politician of note and was the running mate of former President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2011 presidential election.
The statement added that the celebration would feature Appreciation Sunday by Affinity Groups in CGCC where members of the CGCC and affiliated communities will come together to express their heartfelt gratitude for his unwavering guidance and leadership over the years.
A special thanksgiving service will be held in honour of his life and ministry where he will also unveil his latest book, ‘The Last, but Definitely not the Least—The Autobiography of Pastor Tunde Bakare’, which offers insights into his experiences, spiritual journey, socio-political interventions and vision for the nation and the world.
