I trust Buhari but doubt his environment – Bakare


The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly and convener of the Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said he trusts the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari but doubts the credibility of his political environment.

“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,” Bakare said on Tuesday while delivering his address at the annual Lenten lecture of the Island Club in Lagos.

“I believe in contact without contamination,” he said.

Pastor Bakare who was Buhari's running mate on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in the 2011 presidential election, said he was not a politician but a nation-builder.

“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.”
