Why I Rejected Rolls Royce Gift-Pastor Tunde Bakare by Akbee(m): 8:50am On Feb 01, 2015
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.
