Buhari Wanted Me To Succeed Him As President – Tunde Bakare

General Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church (CGCC), Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said that there was no formal or written agreement for former President Muhammadu Buhari to hand over power to him.

He recently revealed that he will never say anything negative about a dead man.

Speaking during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Pastor Bakare only gave him approving looks that suggested he wanted him to take over once his tenure ended.

He, however, added that ahead of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primaries, late Muhammadu Buhari invited all presidential aspirants to a meeting at the Villa, where he urged them to freely select their preferred candidate to succeed him.

His words, “There was no written pact between us. He’s late. I will never say anything unfair about him. But there was a kind of look—’you’re one of those I would love to succeed me’—and he did his best.

By Buhari said I have allowed governors to choose those who will succeed them or go for a second term. I’m asking you today to freely choose the person I desire to succeed me.

After the flag-off of our campaign in Kaduna, we rode in the same car. When we got to his place, he staggered, and the next thing he said was, ‘Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I said, ‘General, what is that?’ and he replied, ‘You do not have the monopoly of Jesus Christ—I’m thanking God.”

WOW.
