Pastor Tunde Bakare Speaks on why he refused the Rolls Royce 2015 birthday gift.
FORMER CPC vice presidential candidate and founder of Latter Rain
Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has declared that he earnestly yearns for a
better Nigeria where good governace, equal distribution of the nation’s
resources amongst others for all citizens.
The former running mate of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) made this
remarks while ministering during the inauguration and commissioning of Grace
and Glory Chapel in Ikeja, Lagos, while giving reasons why he rejected a car
gift for his 60th birthday.
Pastor Bakare said he was not interested in becoming a local
champion in a city of the blind, recalling that, some persons brought him a
2015 model of Rolls Royce during his 60th birthday which, he said, he out
rightly rejected, adding that he was not in need of such exotic car while
majority of Nigerians are wallowing in poverty.
“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,” Bakare said.
Continuing, he said: “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,” the controversial pastor noted.
Bakare also averred that poverty has made most Nigerians to
believe that anybody without a jet has not arrived, adding that majority of
those who bought jets can no longer maintain such jets and are busy leasing
them out.
