The General Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has said that on the issue of corruption in the country, President Muhammadu Buhari will not support any form of witch-hunt because it is not in his character.
Bakare said this during an interview with Sahara TV, he explained that Buhari will not support restitution of stolen funds as pardon for corrupt officials because it will promote a wrong attitude.
He said “What Nigeria needs now are not so much of restitution. Some stolen funds that were sent back to Nigeria in the past went into wrong hands. What Nigeria needs is a clear example of good governance, the rule of law as against the rule of men.
“On the rule of men, might is right. On the rule of law, right is might. So if you can get ‘right is might’ in place, if you do something wrong and you are punished for it, those who have the desires to do similar things will know that there are consequences for their choices, that is where we are going.
“I can tell you that witch-hunt is not something that President Buhari would support. Perish the thought, it is not his character.”
On whether he is expecting a Ministerial appointment, Bakare said “As far as I am concerned, I am not expecting to be named a minister. If I am offered an appointment, when I get to that bridge I will cross it. I am already a minister of the gospel. Ministry is my calling and my life. The word minister means servant.
“When you expect nothing, you cannot be disappointed. I keep on doing what I am doing, to be a solid supporter of the Buhari movement and what he stands for in public life. I have no regret on what I did in 2011. If an opportunity presents itself, I will do it again. I am not seeking anything.
“Let’s not count chickens before they are hatched. The bible says the expectation of the righteous will not be cut off. That is when the expectation of the righteous is in tandem with God’s expectation. If you are expecting from God, the flesh can fail. Who knows tomorrow? In the next two months, when the ministers would be named, what if nobody is here or alive? ”
