Tunde Bakare, a Nigerian Prophetic-Apostolic
pastor, has revealed what he knows about
some of Nigeria’s leading political figures.
Bakare, who is pastor of the Latter Rain
Assembly and one of the conveners of the
Save Nigeria Group, has given a no-holds-
barred interview to the The Interview
magazine.

He disclosed how President Muhammadu
Buhari picked him as running mate in 2011
elections and the role of Bola Tinubu, the-then
national leader of the defunct Action Congress
of Nigeria, later the All Progressives Congress
(APC), and the drama that followed.
Azubuike Ishiekwene, the managing director/
editor in chief of The Interview, in a statement
also cited Bakare as saying: “When I first
spoke to Tinubu about it (after Lai Mohammed
had come to tell me that the ACN wanted me
to persuade Buhari to be the party’s
flagbearer), he (Tinubu) said, ‘the greatest
mobiliser in the South West will be his running
mate .’”
Bakare while narrating how ex-president
Goodluck Jonathan’s follower, Godswill
Orubebe, chased him with a $50,000 “gift”, he
attributed Jonathan’s failure to his lack of
capacity.


In an interview that he would later say
“drained him of virtue”, Bakare did not mince
his words about the leadership tussle in the
South West, the challenges before Buhari and
his potential role in Buhari’s administration.
It should be recalled that there had been
speculations during the last presidential
election that Bakare had been paid an
undisclosed amount of money to campaign
against the candidacy of Jonathan of the PDP.
However, the man of God while reacted to the
development said will punish whoever is
accusing him of taking bribe.
