Pastor Tunde Bakare,
Senior Pastor, at the Latter Rain Assembly, narrated to his congregations how he woke up early one
day during the commissioning of a new branch of his church to find the
expensive luxury car at his doorsteps.
He said he rejected the gift, stating that his interest
was in good governance, adding that it would have been unconscionable to accept
the car while a majority of Nigerians continue to wallow in abject
poverty.
According to the
man of God, “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,” he said. “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 pastor stated.
SaharaReporters confirmed from a source close to Mr.
Bakare that the car came from Coscharis Motors. However, we could not ascertain
whether it was an attempted gift from Mr. Maduka or whether someone else had
paid the dealership to purchase the Roll Royce for the pastor.
