Convener of the Save Nigeria Group, Pastor Tunde Bakare, on Tuesday declared that he trusts the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
He, however, said he was not comfortable with those around him.
Bakare, who heads the Lagos-based Latter Rain Assembly, stated this while addressing Christians at the annual Lenten lecture of the Island Club in Lagos.
According him, “Yes, I trust Buhari and this is because I have worked closely with him but I doubt his environment. The Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress, which one is really clean? Only God can give us true leaders,” Bakare said.
“I believe in contact without contamination,” he added.
Bakare, who was the running mate of Buhari on the platform of the now rested Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 presidential election, described himself as a nation builder and not a politician.
He said, “If General Buhari wins, let President Goodluck Jonathan accept defeat. Whoever loses is not a loser and if the winner is President Goodluck Jonathan, Buhari should accept this as the will of God.
“The 2015 election is a serious crossroad and we might be playing with fire but with wisdom and prayer, we shall end well.
“I am not a politician; I am not a PDP nor APC member. I am a nation-builder. Whoever I support is not the issue, God’s will must prevail. My loyalty is first to God and to my country but God knows Nigeria’s next president.”
