Accept the assurance of the State Director of Security highest esteem, please.”

The fiery Lagos pastor had on Sunday, July 22, 2012 delivered a sermon titled: ‘How to change government peacefully and make society better’, where he advised President Jonathan to resign from office.

Confirming the invitation in a telephone chat with Vanguard,spokesman of the Save Nigeria Group, Mr Yinka Odumakin explained that it was “ basically a friendly chat.”

Odumakin said “Pastor Bakare was invited and was asked to give them a copy of the sermon he preached in church, there was nothing extraordinary of outrageous in what he said. It was more of a cordial chat that lasted for one hour ten minutes.”

He added that “basically, they are doing their own job as the state security of the state and then, he is doing his own call to make the country better for the people living in the country. Everyone is doing his for as long as there is mutual respect. There is no cause for alarm. Like I told you, it was a friendly chat. He was invited for a meeting for 2 pm but he got there at about 3:10 pm”.
