Popularly called PTB, the Serving Overseer of CGCC is a highly respected nation-builder and preacher known for his unflinching stand for righteousness and justice.
He was former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate in the 2011 presidential election on the platform of Congress for Progressive Change.
In 2022, he announced his intention to run for president after Buhari’s second term in office.
He was one of the aspirants at the governing All Progressives Congress presidential primaries in 2023, which produced Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the party’s flag bearer.
He had been harassed and arrested for his messages, which were critical of repressive and oppressive governments in the past, but PTB has remained committed to the socio-political transformation of his country.
His leadership continues to inspire and challenge both the church and the nation to higher ideals of truth and integrity.
Husband of one wife, Layide Bakare, fondly called The Authentic Mrs. B, and father of five children and many grandchildren, he was the Convener of Save Nigeria Group.
