In a heartwarming and inspiring testimony, Olubunmi Fabode, the first daughter of Pastor Tunde Bakare, the Serving Overseer of Citadel Global Community, shared how her prayers and love for her siblings helped save her parents’ marriage from the brink of collapse.
Speaking during the 40th wedding anniversary celebration of her parents in Lagos, Fabode revealed that her parents’ marriage was a battleground for generational curses. However, her prayers and intervention prevented them from getting a divorce.
Fabode recalled a pivotal moment when she was just seven years old, and her father informed her that he and her mother would be going their separate ways. She said, “I did not care so much about my mum and dad not living together, but I thought if they were separated, my siblings may choose either of our parents. And I knew that could not work because I absolutely love my siblings. They are the joy of my life.”
Fabode’s love for her siblings motivated her to pray for her parents’ marriage. She believed that something had to happen to interrupt the plan that was about to hatch. Her prayers and intervention ultimately helped to save her parents’ marriage.
Fabode also shared her personal story of being raised by a British foster parent, then her grandmother, and eventually by her father and stepmother. She described her parents’ marriage as a union that was not just a romantic partnership but a battleground where generational curses were confronted and overcome.
Pastor Tunde Bakare, a renowned advocate for better governance in Nigeria, has been described as a champion of change and a valuable asset to the nation. His commitment to his marriage and family is a testament to his strong values and principles.
The celebration of the Bakares’ 40th wedding anniversary was attended by dignitaries, including President Bola Tinubu, who praised Pastor Bakare’s contributions to Nigeria’s development. Former President Muhammadu Buhari also described Pastor Bakare as a living legend, a towering figure in nation-building, and an embodiment of intellect, integrity, and courage.
