EKO HOT BLOG reports that Tunde Bakare, the general overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, has purchased expression of interest and nomination forms of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bakare joins a growing list of presidential aspirants on the platform of the ruling party, ahead of the 2023 election.
In September 2019, Bakare said God told him he will succeed President Muhammadu Buhari In 2023.

Bakare is a Nigerian Prophetic-Apostolic pastor. He was reportedly arrested in March 2002 after preaching sermons critical of then-president Olusegun Obasanjo.
He was the running mate of the presidential candidate, Buhari, in the 2011 Nigerian presidential election.
He was formerly a pastor at the Deeper Life Bible Church before he left to join the Redeemed Christian Church of God and later ledt to form his Church.
Bakare was described by The Guardian as being one of the most politically influential pastors in Nigeria
Other presidential hopefuls on the platform of the party are still expected to pick the forms.
Meanwhile, representatives of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, had earlier picked the nomination forms worth N100 million at the International Conference Centre (ICC) in Abuja.
Laolu Akande, the spokesman of the vice-president, confirmed the development in a series of tweets on Thursday.
“A passionate team of support groups and individual Nigerians from across the country have raised funds to support the purchase of APC nomination forms for the Vice President’s 2023 presidential bid,” he tweeted.
“Today, the forms have been collected by representatives of the team just as the VP continues his interactions with APC stakeholders across the states.
