The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 disclosed that he the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) but had doubts on the credibility of “his environment”.
He made this assertion during an address to Christians at the annual Lenten lecture of the Island Club in Lagos state.
He said, “Yes I trust Buhari and this is because I have worked closely with him but I doubt his environment. The Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress, which one is really clean? Only God can give us true leaders.
He added that he upholds with high esteem, the principle of “contact without contamination.”
On the forthcoming general elections scheduled to hold on Saturday, March 28, 2015, Bakare said, “If General Buhari wins, let President Goodluck Jonathan accept defeat. Whoever loses is not a loser and if the winner is President Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari should accept this as the will of God.
“The 2015 election is a serious crossroad and we might be playing with fire but with wisdom and prayer, we shall end well.
“ I am not a politician; I am not a PDP nor APC member. I am a nation-builder. Whoever I support is not the issue, God’s will must prevail. My loyalty is first to God and to my country but God knows Nigeria’s next president.”
Speaking on fasting, Bakare urged Christians in the country to examine the true spirit behind the Lenten fast, saying fasting was not an antidote to problems but an opportunity to submit to the will of God.
