In his reaction, Serving Overseer, The Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor
Tunde Bakare, threatens to mobilise Nigerians to storm the National
Assembly if the controversial resolution of the Senate on child marriage
is not reversed immediately.
Bakare, who spoke in his Sermon,
Separation is Inevitable, in his church in Ogba, Lagos, on Sunday,
believes the federal lawmakers have lost all moral grounds to make
rational laws for the country.
Bakare, who is also the Convener
of Save Nigeria Group, also challenged the lawmakers to name any of
their children, who has been given out in marriage at the age of 13,
wondering what could have motivated the Senators to propose such
“immoral amendment.”
“Yerima has polluted the Senate and his
colleagues have joined him to tell us that what we have in the National
Assembly are craddle-robbers. The Senators must come out to tell us how
many of them have married out their 13-year-old girls. Why should any
sane person be legislating on how a 13-year-old should be married out in
this age when such children should be in school?
“I want to call
on the House of Representatives and state Houses of Assembly to reject
this clause completely. I also want the Senators to know that I will
mobilise Nigerians and we are going to storm the National Assembly if
this evil clause is not expunged from the constitution immediately. A
constitution that cannot be bent will break.”
Bakare also led his
congregation to pray against what he described as the “insatiable
intimate appetite” of the lawmakers, calling on God to “dry up their
uncontrollable libido.”
