The founder of Latter Rain Assembly, (End-Time Church), Pastor Tunde Bakare, has done the most surprising thing of the century!
Pastor Tunde Bakare
The pastor, who has received national and international attention for his televangelism has rejected a Rolls Royce presented to him as a birthday gift. The controversial pastor and former CPC vice presidential candidate who is unarguably one Pastor with a high sense of humour has made known reasons why he rejected the ‘machine’. He talks about this during the inauguration and commissioning of Grace and Glory Chapel in Ikeja, Lagos recently.
The 60-year-old Abeokuta born Man-of-God cum Politician said some people brought him a 2015 model of Rolls Royce during his 60th birthday last November, but he outrightly rejected it.
Explaining why he rejected the car gift, he said:
“I want to see good governance. I want to see discipline. I want to see equitable distribution of resources. I want to see the poor being educated. I want to see a nation that works. I don’t want to be a local champion in a city of the blind. I am not in need of a 2015 model of Rolls-Royce which was presented to me as a gift.
“I was sitting at home one day and they brought in a brand new 2015 Rolls-Royce into my house. My 60th birthday was coming. I looked at it, kai! This is awkward. When you open your car, your door goes this way, its own door goes that way. It clears the way so that there is nothing blocking your way.
“I saw a button. They said: it is an umbrella sir. It is on every door in case it is raining, you just push it and the umbrella comes out. I said: Na wa o. Then I said: Oya, leave this place. Where is the road that I will ride it upon? My heart is not in things like this. I asked my son to take a photograph of the brand new car as a proof.”
It would be recalled that just recently, Pastor Tunde Bakare came down hard on those accusing him of taking bribe to campaign against President Goodluck Jonathan.
Apparently reacting to speculations in some quarters that he had been paid an undisclosed amount of money to campaign against the candidacy of Jonathan of the PDP, Bakare said will punish whoever is accusing him of taking bribe.
