Bakare Rejects Jonathan’s Christmas Gift

Former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has revealed that the General Overseer of the Latter Rain  Pastor Tunde Bakare, turned down a cow, which was reportedly sent to him for Christmas by President Goodluck  Jonathan.

In a tweet posted yesterday El-Rufai wrote: “Just learnt that GEJ sent a Christmas cow to Pastor Bakare, but Pastor asked  is it cow we need in Nigeria? Nigerians want good governance!”

It is believed that Pastor Bakare made this known to his congregation, as moments before then, El Rufai tweeted: “On my way to Latter Rain Assembly to see my egbon, Pastor Tunde Bakare, by God’s Grace….”

He later told his followers that, “Inside Latter Rain, Pastor Tunde Bakare praying for peace, stability and unity of Nigeria in 2014….that our nation gets capable leaders…”

The Tide recalls that the president and the fiery man of God do not go along well, so it comes as a surprise that he decided to send the gift.
