Former Minister of Education, Dr. OBY EZEKWESILI, and founder of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor TUNDE BAKARE are set to join the race to contest the 2019 presidential election against the incumbent, President MUHAMMADU BUHARI.

Pastor BAKARE disclosed this while speaking at an annual freedom rally tagged “This Is My Nigeria” that took place at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos.

He told the gathering that OBY EZEKWESILI is stepping into politics now and that he is also waiting for October 7 to make declaration on his intention.

EZEKWESILI who has not officially declared to run has been a vocal critic of the BUHARI-led government.

Pastor BAKARE, also a vocal critic of the current administration, had previously announced in January 2018 that that God wants him to run despite his plan to quit politics for good
