Bakare Expresses Support for Islamic Banking

Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly has expressed his support for the Islamic Banking being proposed by the Central Bank of Nigeria. While speaking in his church on Sunday on the topic "Signposts to the Emergence of a Dictator, Bakare, CPC's Vice Presidential candidate in the last general elections, accused Christian leaders of insincerity towards the proposed banking system. According to him, "Nobody can Islamise or Christianise Nigeria. Don’t be fooled by church leaders who are speaking from both sides of the mouth. My name is Mr. Bakare and I can change my name to Mallam, an equivalent of Mr., if it will help me get the loan. Islamisation my foot!'

'This country will remain a country of truths. People will face options and they will choose to serve God the way they choose. Islamic banking is another distraction just like the Arabic on the naira.'

'Dubai is a Muslim country and it is progressive. Many Muslim countries are doing well. If Nigeria is practicing Islam and is retrogressing, then there is something wrong'." 

Personally, (me speaking now) I have no problem with the proposed banking system, but why give it religious colouration? Can't we just call it Non-Interest banking? Either way, I think it will enjoy the patronage of  Nigerians because  the loans advanced do not attract interest, but don't make us feel it's for a particular religious sect. This is a religiously sensitive nation.Just my thought sha. End of discussion!
