Corruption, Bakare Tells Buhari
The General Overseer of the Latter Rain
Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on Sunday in Lagos cautioned the President-elect, Muhammadu
Buhari, against appointing persons with
questionable character into his government.
Some of these people, the cleric said, were among those who facilitated Buhari’s success on March 28.
Bakare, who was the running mate to Buhari in the 2011 Presidential election on the platform of
the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, said
this at the 26th anniversary of his church. He
delivered a message titled,
'Democracy audit:
chances, choices and consequences.'
The 60 year-old pastor urged Buhari to start the fight against corruption from his circle and lay a good example, saying change cannot be achieved if these were not done.
He said, “I congratulate Nigerians; we have
chosen a man of integrity as our President. But
integrity is not enough to run a government.
“May the good Lord surround the President-elect
with men and women of goodwill, great
intellectual capacity, competence and character to
help restore our wasted years.
“I pray sincerely that not all those who facilitated
his winning the election will be among those who
run the government. I did say before the election
that I trust the person of General Buhari but not
all those around him.
