In an interview with Sahara TV yesterday, the General Overseer of Latter
Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, said he is not expecting to be
appointed a minister in President Buhari's cabinet.
"As far as I am concerned, I am not
expecting to be named a minister. If I am offered an appointment, when I
get to that bridge I will cross it. I am already a minister of the
gospel. Ministry is my calling and my life. The word minister means
servant. When you expect nothing, you cannot be disappointed. I keep on
doing what I am doing, to be a solid supporter of the Buhari movement
and what he stands for in public life. I have no regret on what I did in
2011. If an opportunity presents itself, I will do it again. I am not
seeking anything.
“Let’s not count chickens before they are
hatched. The bible says the expectation of the righteous will not be
cut off. That is when the expectation of the righteous is in tandem with
God’s expectation. If you are expecting from God, the flesh can fail.
Who knows tomorrow? In the next two months, when the ministers would be
named, what if nobody is here or alive? ”
