The General Overseer of the
Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has provided reasons President
Muhammadu Buhari has not met the expectations of many who voted him into office
in 2019.
The cleric also revealed why he
would not be contesting for the presidency this time around, saying that he
will not run against his friend, Buhari.
He, however, revealed that he
will be the 16th president of the country, saying, “Buhari is the 15th
president, I’ll be the 16th.”
Speaking with Daily Sun, Pastor
Bakare, who was once Buhari’s running mate, said coming into office in 2015,
the President met the unexpected.
On Buhari’s performance, Bakare
said, “My simple view on this matter is: number one, the expectation was high.
“And so was the goodwill that
brought him to power. But it appears after he got into power, the Yoruba
proverb that ‘the water that is being boiled and the elubo to get amala that
would be put into that water, the yam flour is so little compared to the boiling
water.’
“So, we have to do more to either
reduce the water or increase the yam flour. It is to whom much is given, much
is expected.
“And if Nigerians expressed
disappointment, they should fire up the president to seek ways and means of
doing more because he is accountable to them.
Speaking on his presidential
ambition, the cleric added, “I have no presidential ambition; I have a
presidential vision because I am not driven by ambition, I am driven by
destiny.
“And I am driven by a purpose and
I want to see a country that works in my lifetime. But I have also made it
public to everyone who cares to listen that it is morally improper, as a matter
of fact, morally reprehensible for me to run against Buhari because once upon a
time, we took sweet counsel together, we ran together.
“When Buhari does not run
anymore, I will do it. But it is not ambition and it is not a matter of I must
do this.
“I am waiting for the appropriate
time as the spirit of God would lead me to do that. It is a question of time. I
have said it elsewhere that President
Muhammadu Buhari is the 15th
president. By God’s grace, I will be the 16th.”
