Nasir el-Rufai, the governor of
Kaduna state, visited Tunde Bakare, serving overseer of the Latter Rain
Assembly, at the church auditorium in Lagos on Sunday.
This visit is coming one week
after the fiery preacher declared his intention to become the president of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, not stating when exactly he would run for office.
El-Rufai, who was one of the
persons who pleaded with the pastor to run alongside President Muhammadu Buhari
in 2011, came into the church auditorium on Sunday afternoon, while Bakare was
preaching.
The pastor welcomed the governor
with a hug, and said: “I have missed you… it is a good time to come”.
Bakare had said earlier in the
service that all those putting up deliberate sinful silence (DSS) about the
killings in Benue would pay for it.
“We cannot keep quiet while
hardened murderers and criminals fill our land with the crimes of blood. That
would be DSS… deliberate sinful silence, and i think secret service is guilty
of that,” he said
“The brutal murder going on in
Benue state and other parts of Nigeria is very atrocious and wicked. There will
be consequences of this dastard murder. Everyone involved in one way or the
other, either overtly or covertly, shall pay for it”
Neither Bakare nor el-Rufai
disclosed the reason for the governor’s visit.
Bakare, el-Rufai and Buhari were
key members of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), a party founded by
the retired general to run his presidential campaign in 2011.
