Senior Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde
Bakare, has declared his ambition for the presidency at the expiration of
President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term, noting that he is merely waiting for
him to be through with his tenure in office.
Bakare announced his ambition during an interview with the

vote at the Opebi Grammar School polling unit.
“I am going to throw my hand into the fray. I am just waiting

“We cannot continue this way because we have something to
offer this country, and we will by the grace of God,’’ he said.
Bakare, who said that he was desirous of making Nigeria one
of the greatest countries, added that he looked forward to a future where every
Nigerian vote would count.
He said that he would continue to pray for the day when
every Nigerian would come out and make their votes count.
The preacher urged Nigerians to desist from allowing themselves
to be deceived by ‘stomach infrastructure’ when the needed infrastructure in
their communities had decayed.
