The founder of Citadel Global Community Church, (formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly), Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said it does not matter where the next President comes from as long as the person can deliver good governance.
This is as he voiced his support for the electronic transmission of election results in the country, going forward. This, according to him, will protect eligible voters from disenfranchisement.
Bakare said this on Friday after a private meeting with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Bakare, who was Buhari’s running mate on the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 presidential election, was scheduled for a 12-noon meeting with the President in his office.
Despite his previous close political affiliation with Buhari, the clergyman has in recent times castigated the President’s regime.
Speaking with State House Correspondents after the meeting, he said the visit was to “dispense what was in my heart” to the President.
On the power rotation debate, Bakare stated, “I had said it on October 3. It’s our immaturity, politically and otherwise, that makes us say power must either be in the North or be in the South, instead of looking for the best, the fittest, the most competent, and people of character, who love this nation.
