General Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has refuted media claims that he has been appointed to head the Transition Committee of the President-Elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
The media was awash with the news on Monday that Pastor Bakare had been appointed by Gen. Buhari to head the screening of members of the Transition Committee ahead of the May 29 handover date.
However, Bakare, who champions the Save Nigeria Group, while reacting to the hearsay through his spokesman, Yinka Odumakin, said he was not aware of the said appointment.
Bakare was the running mate to Buhari in 2011 presidential election on the platform of the Congress for Progressives Change, CPC.
Mr. Odumakin said, “This is news to Pastor Bakare also. He read it in Thisday Newspaper as others did this morning.”
He added that “mischief makers are at work as usual.”
Similarly, the spokesperson of the Buhari campaign organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu also said he wasn’t aware of Bakare’s appointment as widely reported in many newspapers, (Not DAILY POST).
